D.K. Deshmukh, J.1. Rule returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of the parties.2. The learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that in view of the finding by the Industrial Court that no unfair labour practice has been proved, there is no power left for the Industrial Court to make any order granting interim relief in favour of the complainant.
