The President, Kottakudi Panchayat, Kottakudi, Melur Taluk, Madurai District. ... Respondents PRAYER:Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issuance of writ of Mandamus directing all the respondents to implement the orders, dated 11.09.2007 in I.D. PetitionNo.130 of 2002 and the orders dated 29.09.2009 in claim Petition No.84 of2009 of the Labour Court, Madurai, within a specified time frame that maybe fixed by this Court. For Petitioner :Mr.G.Balasubramanian for Mr.S.VisvalingamFor Respondents :Mr.TS.MD.Mohideen Additional Government Pleader ORDERThe petitioner in this writ petition seeks for a direction to the respondents to implement the award passed by the Labour Court, Madurai inI.D.No.130 of 2002. By the afore-said award the Labour Court directed reinstatement of the petitioner with continuity of service and back wages. Since the award was not complied with, the petitioner moved the LabourCourt with an application under Section 33 C (2) of the Industrial DisputesAct, 1947 (hereinafter referred as the Act).

The above said petition was taken on file in Claim Petition No.84 of 2009. The Labour Court by exparteproceedings granted a sum of Rs.43,079/- to the petitioner, who was employed as Sanitary Worker in the fourth respondent, Kottakudi Panchayat, Melur Taluk. 2. Instead of making appropriate application before the same LabourCourt under Section 11-B of the Act for executing its own award, the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2petitioner gave a representation to the District Collector, during the grievance day. Pursuant to the said representation, it is seen that the Block Development Officer, Melur had written a letter to the fourth respondent to comply with the order and with this litigation, the petitioner seeks for further direction from this Court.3. Such a course of action on the part of the petitioner is unnecessary, especially when the Labour Court has specifically empowered to execute its own order or award by introduction of Section 11-B of the Act.
