Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-12-2007

Reported in: (2008)IILLJ41Bom; 2007(6)MhLj521

Nishita Mhatre, J.1. Writ Petition No. 5493 of 1996 has been filed by the employer in which the order of the Industrial Court dated 9-8-1996 in revision application (ULP) No. 49 of 1996 is challenged to the extent that it remands the complaint (ULP) No. 54 of 1996 to the Labour Court for hearing. Writ petition No. 5491 of 1996 has been filed by the employee in which the order of the Industrial Court in Revision has been challenged. The issue involved in both these petitions is whether the employee is a workman as defined under Section 3(5) of the MRTU and PULP Act read with 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Labour Court has held that the complaint is maintainable since the employee is a workman.

While doing so, he has considered several documents which were not produced before the Labour Court. After ...

Nishita Mhatre, J.1. This petition challenges the order of the Industrial Court in Complaint (ULP) No. 800 of 1997. This complaint was filed under Items 6, 9 and 10 of Schedule IV of the M.R.T.U. & P.U.L.P. Act, 1971. The Industrial Court has concluded that the petitioners have committed unfair labour practices under the aforesaid items and has directed them to extend the benefits of permanency to the respondents herein, from the date they completed 240 days in service.
