THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.11120 of 1999
O R D E R: This writ petition is filed challenging the retrenchment notice dated 31-05-1999 issued by the respondent-Corporation. The learned counsel for the petitioners raised various grounds including that the notice ought to have been issued as contemplated under Chapter 5(a) instead of 5(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’) and that the notice of termination was not served properly on the petitioners as per the provisions of the Act. To resolve these aspects, it is necessary to adjudicate the matter on consideration of factual aspects and also of both oral and documentary evidence. However, this Court cannot go into the evidence and factual aspects of the matter. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioners to approach the competent authority and work out their remedies as available under law. However, if any claim petition is filed by the petitioners before the competent authority, the same shall be entertained and disposed as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of one year from the date of filing of the claim petition. No costs. __________________ (C.V.RAMULU, J) Date:19-08-2005
