Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-07-1995

Reported in: [1995(71)FLR61]; (1999)IIILLJ144Bom

Tipnis, J. 1. This case demonstrates how at times the public authority enjoined with a duty of protecting the public interest itself commits default and penalises the person who is not at fault at all. We are saying this because the facts of this case show that the authority who passed the order has shown total lack of application of mind while dealing with the matter. 2. Abhijat Samayadarshika (Maharashtra) Limited, is a Government company incorporated under the Companies Act. It is wholly owned subsidiary of the Western Maharashtra Development Corporation limited. The petitioner company was established on 12th July 1978 and it commenced its commercial production from 30th August 1979.

V.H. Bhairavia, J. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. That the petitioner is seeking for enforcement of the order passed in Application (BIR) No. 697 of 1985 in favour of the petitioner, directing the Respondent-Company to reinstate him. The complaint of the petitioner came to be dismissed by the order of the Member, Industrial Court, Bombay dated 30.9.94 on the ground that the respondent-company is a continuous sick unit covered under section 22 of Sick Industrial Companies Act (Special Provisions) 1985. 3. The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner as regards the non-applicability of the provision of section 22 in the case of the petitioner-workmen is unsustainable. The learned Member of the Industrial Court has given finding of that effect and as required under section 22(1) the petitioner-workmen has admittedly not obtained consent from the B.I.F.R. 4. I, therefore, do not see any substance in the submission of the learned counsel. Hence this petition...

The objection was taken by the department on the ground that this is a single item exceeding the value of Rs. 10 lakhs and has also exceeded 10% of the value limit prescribed in each of the REP licence and clubbing of the licences for covering the value of the imported item is not permissible. In that view, adjudication proceedings were held and the impugned orders passed.2. Shri Nankani, the Id.
