ORDERR.J. Kochar, J.1. These writ petitions have arisen from the Common Judgment and Order dated 16-3-1993 passed by the Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Sangli in Applications (IDA) Nos. 86/88 to 132/88 (47 in Nos.) against the respective Employers - Firms. The workmen had filed applications under section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for claiming determination and computation of the monies/benefits due from the employers. Their claim was based on a notification dated 10-1-1986 fixing minimum wages for Powerloom Industry. The individual applications filed against the individual firms were opposed by the employers on various grounds, with which presently I am not concerned.2.

It appears that the matter was posted for evidence to be adduced by the employers. It further appears that conso...

ORDERR.K. Batta, J.1. The petitioner has filed a Public Interest Petition in respect of the excess expenditure incurred on the use of petrol by the Ministers of the State of Goa. The petitioner's contention is that the Ministers are entitled only to petrol of 60 liters and since the Ministers as per statistics supplied in answer to the questions in the Legislative Assembly, have used more than 60 liters of petrol, the recovery should be effected from them. The petitioner also challenges the removal of restrictions on supply of petrol to the vehicles allotted to the Ministers by a decision taken by the Council of Ministers, which decision according to the petitioner, is illegal, unconstitutional, arbitrary, null and void. 2.
