The   role of the Conciliation Officer is only to<\/p>\n<p>induce the parties to a conciliation to settle the dispute<\/p>\n<p>and    once conciliation has failed,      the duty of the<\/p>\n<p>Conciliation Officer is to submit    a failure report to the<\/p>\n<p>appropriate Government. Ext.P1 report demonstrates that<\/p>\n<p>the conciliation has failed.
