Reported in: [2002(93)FLR730]; (2002)IVLLJ30Bom

Nishita Mhatre, J. 1. The petitioner challenges the orders of the Industrial Court dated June 13, 2001 and October 30, 2001. The order of the Industrial Court dated June 13, 2001 is an order reviewing its earlier order dated June 16, 1997 passed by the Industrial Court while granting interim relief. The petitioner by that order remained under suspension. However, the enquiry which was instituted by the respondent continued. When the enquiry was completed and the respondent wished to terminate the services of the petitioner, the respondent filed a review application under Section 30(2) of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971 for reviewing and vacating the earlier order. The Industrial Court vacated the earlier Order granting interim relief. The Industrial Court while doing so, it appears, has acted as if it is a Court of Appeal rather than merely reviewing the order. 2. The review was granted and the earlier interim order was va...
