A.M. Khanwilkar, J.1. This writ petition, under Arts. 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the award passed by the Industrial Tribunal, dated April 25, 1990.2. The following question was referred to the Tribunal under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act:'Whether the action of the management of United Commercial Bank, Nagpur is justified in terminating the services of Sri Nathu Upasrao Wasnik with effect from April 4, 1987 If not, to what relief the workman concerned is entitled?'The Tribunal, after examining the evidence, has held that the respondent No. 1 had admittedly worked for more than 240 days during the calender year immediately preceding the date of retrenchment.

A.M. Khanwilkar, J.1.

Decided on: Aug-09-2000

Reported in: (2000)(121)ELT689Tri(Mum.)bai

1. We decline to accept the request for adjournment in the letter made by Mr. B.N. Rangwani, who says that he represents M/s. Shree Balaji SSK Ltd., (appellant in appeal E/902/2000), no authority for appearance has been filed. Further the fact that he will be out of Mumbai on the date of hearing for which no reason is given by itself is no ground for adjournment.2. The delay of 14 days in filing this appeal is stated to be on account of issue of corrigendum. If the date of corrigendum is taken into account there will be no delay. The corrigendum makes changes in the duty demanded and therefore has to be considered as part of the order. There is therefore no delay and the application for condonation of delay is unnecessary.3. After hearing Mr. G.L. Deshpande, advocate for M/s. Shreeram SSK Ltd (M/s. Wainganga SSK Ltd, appellant in appeal E/321 /2000 is absent and unrepresented despite notice) and the departmental representative we proceed to take up the appeals themselves for disposal....

The entries for consideration are heading 39.17 and 83.07. The former is for tubes and pipes of plastic and the latter for flexible tubings of base metal. In the impugned order the Collector has said that the essential characteristic of the material are provided by the base metal and confirmed its classification as tubings of base metal.2.

Reported in: 2000(4)ALLMR733; [2001(88)FLR395]; (2001)IIILLJ741Bom

D.Y. Chandrachud, J.1. Rule, returnable forthwith.2. Respondents waive service. By consent, taken up for final hearing.3. The issue involved in the present petition is whether an 'approach notice', that being the colloquial description of the notice required to be given by the employee to the employer under Section 42(4) of the Bombay Industrial Relations Act, 1946, is valid when it is addressed not by the employee personally but by an advocate on his behalf. A judgment of a learned single Judge of this Court holds the field for nearly two decades. The learned counsel for the employer sought to submit that the said judgment need to be reconsidered by a larger bench and arguments were hence also addressed by the learned counsel on the question as to whether the view taken by the learned single Judge of this Court in Vasant Ladoo Naik v. Kohinoor Mills Co. Ltd. 1981 (43) FLR 390 requires reconsideration. Before addressing myself to the submissions urged at the Bar, a statement of a few r...
