J U D G M E N T

The petitioners, by the above writ petition, sought re-allotment of work to the various pools. There are different "Pool" of workers, in a notified area under the Headload Workers Act. The petitioners sought to, ventilate the grievance in a situation where the workers in a particular "Pool" does not get enough work for subsistence, while the other "Pools" have sufficient or more than the normal share of work. The dispute arose since each Pool formed under the Board is assigned, a specific jurisdictional area giving rise to such disparity.

2. In any event, writ petition is one which is filed as early as in 2005. It is not clear whether the grievance survives as of now. If at all any of the

WP(C) 10631/2005 : 2 :

grievance survives, the petitioners could agitate the same before the original authority afresh. All contentions of the petitioners would be left open. Writ petition would stand closed.
