Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.Sri Harsha Reddy, learned counsel for respondent Nos.2 and 3. 2.

Petitioner is a registered union of the workmen employed in the 2nd respondent Corporation and has filed this Writ Petition challenging the inaction of 2nd respondent in extending benefits of House Rent Allowance to the members of the petitioner's union working under the control of 3rd respondent while extending such benefits to other categories of employees in the same unit. 3.

Petitioner also seeks benefit like children educational allowance and conveyance allowance and contends that such discrimination against the members of the petitioners-union violates Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for brevity 'the Act, 1947) and other laws.
