In this regard, the second respondent filed a writ petition in W.P.No.39896 of 2002 to quash the award made in I.D.No.25 of 1997 dated 21.03.2002 by the first respondent Tribunal, wherein the Tribunal has allowed the claim of the Union. The learned single Judge, considered the matter elaborately and passed a detailed order allowing the writ petition, by order dated 20.10.2011.

2.Challenging the same, the present writ appeal has been filed by the appellant/Union.

3.Arguments were advanced on both sides. After some arguments, the learned counsel for the second respondent has submitted that a decision has to be taken by the second respondent by passing a Resolution regarding enhancement of piece rate, as the industry is suffering loss in production and for supply of the goods. He submitted that both the elected representatives of the appellant-Union and the second respondent Management can participate in the said process. 4.Considering the said submission, we are of the view that there is ample chance of resolving the dispute, if a Resolution is passed regarding enhancement of piece rate of the material, as put forth by the learned counsel for the second respondent. Hence, the writ appeal is disposed of directing the second respondent-Management to take a decision in respect of enhancement of piece rate, by passing a Resolution, by issuing notice to the elected members of the appellant-Union and also the other members for enhancement of the piece rate, so that the matter would be resolved. No costs.
