JUDGMENT
Kurian Joseph, Ag.C.J.
As admitted in Ext.P3, there is a dispute among the Unions
also. Petitioners may notify a date on which the work is proposed to
be commenced and they may receive applications from the local
workmen who are assembled there for engaging them as per the
requirement of the petitioners. In case there are more number of
workmen present than the requirement, the petitioners may draw lots
and select the required number of workmen. If the petitioners have
engaged those workmen thus selected and in case there is an
obstruction there will be a direction to the second respondent to afford
necessary protection to the petitioners for the conduct of the work by
the selected workmen. Learned Government Pleader submits that
there is also a grievance with regard to the increase in wages. That is
a matter for the workmen to pursue with the 4th respondent.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
