Heard learned Counsel for the parties.
This Petition challenges an order passed by the Industrial Court at Mumbai, in a complaint of unfair labour practice by the Petitioner-Union. The dispute between the parties in the present Petition concerns, primarily, the locus of the then General Secretary of the Union and his team to file the present complaint. The Industrial Court has held that the then General Secretary and his team had no locus to file the present complaint. Mr. Cama, learned Counsel for Respondent Nos.4 to 10, who are the present office bearers of the Petitioner-Union, states that in any event, his client proposes to hold fresh elections to the posts of office bearers of the Petitioner-Union before the end of two months from today. In view of this
