Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-03-1985

Reported in: [1986(52)FLR282]; (1995)IIILLJ486Bom

Desai, J. 1. I think the Writ Petition may be disposed of on a very short point. However, a few facts are required to be noted. The petitioner was employed by the Ahmedabad Jupiter Spinning, Weaving and ., at Jupiter Mill No. 3. This Mill No. 3 has been taken over subsequently by the 2nd respondent Corporation. This was obviously because it became a 'sick' unit as the term is used in common commercial parlance. The petitioner who had put in over 29 years of service as a canteen vendor was charge-sheeted for certain acts of misconduct under Standing Order 19(a) and was subsequently dismissed by the Mills by its order dated 20th February 1975.

This, application was registered and came to be numbered as application No. 437 of 1975.2. In the said application Written Statement was filed ...
