ORDER
25.06.2026
Petitioner is knocking at the doors of the Writ Court for assailing the order dated 26.02.2026 made by the Industrial Tribunal, whereby Petitioner came to be arrayed as one of the opponents to the claim petition filed by the workers trade union.
2. Learned Sr. Advocate Mr. Tripathy appearing for the counsel on record for Petitioner vehemently argues that the impleadment is very bad, inasmuch as the Tribunal has not considered the decisions cited at the Bar and has misapplied the law to the facts of the case as borne out by the records.
3. Having heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and having perused the Petitioner papers, we decline indulgence in the matter, inasmuch as in our considered opinion broadly the Tribunal has followed the underlying principle laid down by the Apex Court in Razia Begum v. Sahebzadi Anwar Begum, AIR 1958 SC 538. Even otherwise Petitioner does not have a choate cause of action to lay a challenge to the order of the kind, inasmuch as it is open to him to make this order one of the grounds for assailing the award if it goes adverse to his interest, as has been provided under Order XLIII Rule 1A of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, which is held to be applicable to proceedings of the kind. In that connection, all contentions are kept open.
In the above circumstances, Petition being devoid of merits is liable to be rejected in limine and accordingly it is.
Registry to send a copy of this order by speed post to the Opposite Party-Union, immediately.
Web copy of this order to be acted upon by all concerned.
