2wp8129-09grp.doc Mr.Suresh Kumar, for the Respondents in WP 8128 of 2009. ---- CORAM : G.S.KULKARNI, J.

DATE : 15th September, 2021.

P.C.:

1.

I have heard Mr.Salvi, learned Counsel for the petitioners and Mr.Suresh Kumar, learned Counsel for the respondents-railways. 2.

The issue in these petition is in regard to the interest benefit claimed under Section 33-C of the Industrial Disputes Act by these petitioners having succeeded in the proceedings under the Industrial Disputes Act, initiated by them. Mr.Salvi submits that the issue is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in Writ in Ms.Prabhavati Ramgarib Vs. Divisional Railway Manager, Western Railway, Mumbai Central, Mumbai, reported in 2010(4) Mh.L.J. 691. It appears that this judgment has been accepted by the railways. Mr.Suresh Kumar fairly states that he would take instructions.

3.

The parties are put to notice, considering that such a short issue is involved, that the proceedings would be taken up for final hearing on the adjourned date of hearing.

4.

Stand over to 22 September 2021 at 2.30 p.m.
