                          =======================

                           Con. Case (C) No. 168  of 2008

                          =======================


                    Dated this the   30th  day of January, 2008




                                 JUDGMENT

The petitioner seeks initiation of contempt proceedings for

non-compliance with the directions in my judgment in W.P.(C)

No.18026 of 2003. That was a writ petition filed by the

management in an ID against the award passed by the Industrial

Tribunal in that ID. By a judgment, I modified the award and

directed the society to reinstate the workman with 50%

backwages. I do not think that I should initiate proceedings for

contempt for non-compliance for the said directions in so far as

petitioner’s remedy lies in getting the award enforced through the

procedure prescribed under the Industrial Disputes Act.

Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this contempt case.

Accordingly, the same is closed.

S.SIRI JAGAN,

JUDGE
