ORAL
JUDGMENT

1. By
way of this petition, the petitioners have prayed for quashing
and setting aside the order dated 6.12.2000, whereby the petitioners
have been terminated from the service.

2. The
case of the petitioners is that, they were working on permanent
respective posts in the Respondent Nagarpalika since several years.
Thereafter, petitioners were terminated by order of the then
president of Upleta Nagarpalika dated 7.2.1998. The petitioners had,
therefore, filed regular Civil Suits No.13 to 37 of 1998 in the Court
of Civil Judge (J.D.), and also prayed for interim injunction on
9.2.1998. The learned Civil Judge (J.D.) dismissed the suit.
Thereafter, petitioners filed S.C.A. No. 1599/98 before this Court
and after hearing the parties this Court passed an order on 19.3.1998
directing the Respondent Municipality to reinstate all the
petitioners in service. The Respondent Nagarpalika then filed LPA
No. 378 of 1998 before the Division Bench of this Court against the
order passed by the learned Single Judge. The Division Bench quashed
and set aside the order of learned Single Judge. However, on a
representation, all the petitioners were reinstated in service.
Thereafter, new incharge – president Shri Vrajlal Panchabhai Gajera,
terminated the services of the petitioners w.e.f. From 6.12.2000.

3. Heard
the learned Advocates for the respective parties. Prima-facie in
view of the Full Bench decision, in the case of Municipality V/s
G.P.M.E. Union, reported in 2004 (2) GLH 692, it will not be
appropriate to entertain this petition. The proper remedy for the
petitioners is to raise Industrial Dispute for breach of Industrial
law, if any. Accordingly, if such dispute is raised before the Labour
Court, the same will be decided as expeditiously as possible, keeping
in mind, the above Full Bench decision and law prevailing in the
subject matter.

4. With
the above observation, the petition is dismissed.

JHAVERI, J.)
