Godrej Agrovet Ltd vs Ramdev Singh & Ors on 14 December, 2013

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR

S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.8737/2005

(Godrej Agrovet Ltd. Vs. Ramdev Singh & Ors.)

Date of Order : 14th December, 2013

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.N. BHANDARI

Mr.Suresh Sahni, for the petitioner/s.

Mr.Rajiv Bandhu, for the respondent/s.

BY THE COURT:

Learned counsel for the respondent/s submits that appeal against the order of Payment of Wages
Authority is maintainable under Section 17 of the Payment of Wages Authority Act. Without availing
the statutory remedy, this writ petition has been filed, hence, it may be dismissed.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is fair enough to state that statutory remedy under Section 17 of
the Payment of Wages Act has not been availed by the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer is made to
allow withdrawal of the writ petition with liberty to maintain appeal before the District Judge
concerned. A further prayer is made to continue the interim order for a period of four weeks and for
condonation of delay to maintain appeal.

In view of prayer made, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to maintain an
appeal under Section 17 of the Payment of Wages Act.

Since interim order exists in favour of the petitioner and was continuing for last 8 years, thus for a
period of four weeks, it would be continued.

So far as delay in maintaining appeal is concerned, petitioner would be at liberty to file an

application for condonation of delay, which would be considered by the District Judge concerned
keeping in mind the pendency of present writ petition.

This disposes of the stay application as well.

(M.N. BHANDARI), J.
