CHARTER OF DEMANDS
(i) Laboratory Attendants and Library Attendants in Higher Secondary Schools should be granted vacation as is granted to the Laboratory Assistants and Librarian every year as per rules.

2. Upon receipt of the reference, it was registered as IT/14/15 and registered A/D notices were issued to both the parties. Pursuant to service of notices, Party I filed a Claim statement at Exb. 6 and Party II(1) filed written statement at Exh. 10.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 45 6TH FEBRUARY, 2020objection, Directorate of Education, Government of Goa has been added as Party II(2). The Party II(2) thereafter filed a written statement inter-alia contending that the Chairman of the School Managing Committee is the appointing authority of the workmen in the higher secondary schools concerned in Goa and they are governed by Goa School Education Act, 1984 and Rules, 1986 and the circulars issued from time to time. The Party I are not the employees of the Directorate of Education and therefore the reference be dismissed.
6. Issues that came to be framed at Exh. 13 are
as follows:
(1) Whether the Party I proves that the action of Party II in refusing to concede their demands mentioned in the schedule, is illegal and unjustified?
(2) Whether Party II proves that the Industrial Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for adjudicating the dispute?
(3) What Relief? What Award?
3. In short, the case of the Party I is that the Party II(1) is a Higher Secondary School which has been operating for last several decades managed by the managing committee and is governed by Goa Education Act and Rules and the orders of Directorate of Education, Government of Goa. The managing committee is the appointing authority for all the teaching and non-teaching staff. The Laboratory and Library Attendants have been appointed by the Party II(1) and have been placed under supervision and control of head of Higher Secondary School. The Laboratory and Library Assistants across 17 different Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges have formed their Union and they are the members of Higher Secondary and College Attendants Association. The Party I have raised a Charter of demands dated 4-11-2013 with Directorate of Education and 17 Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges. The Directorate of Education in its reply dated 16-12-2013 stated that the Association should approach their respective employers for demands since they have been appointed by the respective management. The Association then raised a Charter of demands with the Party II(1) vide letter dated 24-3-2014. The Party II(1) did not reply to the Charter of demands and as such the Party I approached the Labour Commissioner for conciliation who requested the Party II(1) to attend the conciliation proceedings and as the Party II(1) refused to discuss the demands, the Assistant Labour Commissioner recorded a failure of the conciliation proceedings. The demands raised by Party I are legal and justified as per the Goa Education Act and Rules and direction issued by the Government of Goa from time to time. The action of the management in rejecting the demands of the Party I is illegal and unjustified. Hence, the reference.
4. The Party II(1) filed a written statement inter- -alia contending that the Party I is not competent to raise the dispute. The Charter of demands was submitted by Association without any authorization or support of the members. The alleged dispute is not an industrial dispute as the demands were not raised on the Party II. The Industrial Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for adjudicating the dispute. The terms of reference does not include the State Government which is the body that provides the grants for the payment of wages and other monetary benefits to the employees.
7. It is a matter of record that the matter was posted for evidence and during the course of proceedings, Shri Subhash Naik Jorge for the Party I has filed an application along with a Circular dated 17-12-2019 issued by the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa at Exh. 15 colly stating that the Under Secretary (Higher Education) issued the Circular fixing working hours of 6.30 hrs. per day excluding lunch break for all Educational Institutions observing 6 days a week for Party I workmen i.e. Laboratory and Library Attendants and that 6.30 hrs. per day has been their demand and the same is acceptable to them and that the Party I does not wish to pursue the present reference pertaining to the working hours and with regard to other demands, the Party I has filed a Writ Petition No. 86/2019 in the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Panaji, Goa Bench and that they are pursuing those demands before other authorities and hence, the Party I does not wish to pursue the same before this authority and therefore the matter may be closed. Needless to mention, the above circular has been issued by Directorate of Higher Education and not the Directorate of Education, concerned in the present reference. Be that as it may, it appears that the Party I workmen are satisfied with the above circular. It also appears that the Party I is not interested in pursuing the matter for the reasons stated above. Therefore, there remains no dispute, claim and/or demand of whatsoever nature against each other in the present reference.
5. It is a matter of record that the Party II(1) has filed an application for addition of Directorate of Education, Government of Goa as Party to the proceedings and as the Party I has given no OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT.

Directorate of Education and 17 Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges. The Directorate of Education in its reply dated 16-12-2013 stated that the Association suits approach their respective employers for demands since they have been appointed by the respective management. The
Association then raised a Charter of demands with the Party II vide letter dated 24-3-2014. The Party II did not replied to the Charter of demands and as such the Party I approached the Labour Commissioner for conciliation who requested the Party II to attend the conciliation proceedings and
as the Party II refused to discuss the demands, the Assistant Labour Commissioner recorded failure of the conciliation proceedings. The demands raised by Party I are legal and justified as per the Goa Education Act and Rules and direction issued by the Government of Goa from time to time. The action
of the management in rejecting the demands of the Party I is illegal and unjustified. Hence, the reference.
4. The Party II did not file any written statement
and as such they are marked ex-parte.
5. Issues that came to be framed at Exh. 8 are as colly stating that the Under Secretary (Higher
Education) issued the above Circular fixing working hours of 6.30 hrs. per day excluding lunch break for all Educational Institutions observing 6 days a week for Party I workmen i.e. Laboratory and Library Attendants and that 6.30 hrs. per day has been their demand and the same is acceptable to them
and that the Party I does not wish to pursue the present reference pertaining to the working hours and with regard to other demands, the Party I has filed the Writ Petition No. 86/2019 in the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Panaji, Goa Bench and that they are pursuing those demands before other
authorities and hence the Party I does not wish to pursue the same before this authority and therefore the matter may be closed. It appears that the Party I is not interested in pursuing the matter, although evidence has been led, for the reasons stated above. Therefore, there remains no dispute,
claim and/or demand of whatsoever nature against each other in the present reference.
7. In view above, I pass the following:
ORDER
(i) The reference stands disposed of in terms

(Delivered on this the 23rd day of the month of December, of the year 2019)
By Order dated 23-2-2016, bearing No. 28/58/ /2015-LAB/131, the Government of Goa in exercise of powers conferred by Section 10 (1)(d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short The Act), has referred the following dispute to the Tribunal for adjudication.
"(1) Whether the action of the management of Shri Ravi S. Naik College of Arts & Science, Farmagudi, Ponda, Goa, in refusing to concede the following Charter of Demands raised by the Higher Secondary & College Attendants Association of Goa, vide it's letter dated 24-03-2014, is legal and justified?
CHARTER OF DEMANDS
(i) Laboratory Attendants and Library Attendants in Higher Secondary Schools should be granted vacation as is granted to the Laboratory Assistants and Librarian every year as per rules.
(ii) Laboratory Attendants should be allotted duties only in laboratories and Library Attendants should be allotted duties only in libraries as per rules.
(iii) The working hours for Laboratory Attendants and Library Attendants should be 6 hours and 30 minutes every day as per rules.

2. Upon receipt of the reference, it was registered as IT/22/16 and registered A/D notices were issued to both the parties. Pursuant to service of notices, Party I filed a Claim statement at Exb. 4, Party II(1) filed a Written statement at Exh. 7.
3. In short, the case of the Party I is that the Party II(1) is a College which has been operating at Farmagudi for last several decades managed by the managing committee and is governed by Directorate of Education, Government of Goa. The managing committee is the appointing authority for all the teaching and non-teaching staff. The Laboratory and Library Attendants have been appointed by the Party II(1) and have been placed under supervision and control of head of College. The Laboratory and Library Assistants across 17 different Higher Secondary and Colleges have formed their union and they are the members of Higher Secondary and College Attendants Association. The Party I have raised the Charter of demands dated 4-11-2013 with Directorate of Education and 17 Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges. The Directorate of Education in its reply OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 45 6TH FEBRUARY, 2020 dated 16-12-2013 stated that the Association should approach their respective employers for demands since they have been appointed by the respective management. The Association then raised a Charter of demands with the Party II(1) vide letter dated 24-3-2014. The Party II(1) did not reply to the Charter of demands and as such the Party I approached the Labour Commissioner for conciliation who requested the Party II(1) to attend the conciliation proceedings and as the Party II(1) refused to discuss the demands, the Assistant Labour Commissioner recorded a failure of the conciliation proceedings. The demands raised by Party I are legal and justified as per the Goa Education Act and Rules and direction issued by the Government of Goa from time to time. The action of the management in rejecting the demands of the Party I is illegal and unjustified. Hence, the reference.
4. In the Written statement, the Party II(1) has claimed that the alleged dispute is not an industrial dispute. The Industrial Tribunal is not the appropriate forum to adjudicate the dispute. The terms of reference does not include the State Government which is the body that provides the grant for payment of wages and other monetary benefits to the employees. The College follows the rules, regulation and service conditions prescribed by the Higher Education and Goa University for its teaching and non-teaching staff. The reference therefore may be dismissed.
defined in Industrial Disputes Act and is unconcerned about the adjudication of the dispute before the Court.
6. Issues that came to be framed at Exh. 12 are
as follows:
(1) Whether the Party I prove that the action of Party II in refusing to concede their demands mentioned in the schedule, is illegal and unjustified?
(2) Whether the Party II proves that the Library Attendants and Laboratory Attendants are not the labour within the meaning of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and therefore no reference could be entertained by the Tribunal?
(3) What Relief? What Award?
7. It is a matter of record that the matter was posted for evidence of the Party I and during the course of proceedings, Shri Subhash Naik Jorge for the Party I has filed an application along with a Circular dated 17-12-2019 issued by the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa at Exh. 20 colly stating that the Under Secretary (Higher Education) issued the above Circular fixing working hours of 6.30 hrs. per day excluding lunch break for all Educational Institutions observing 6 days a week for Party I workmen i.e. Laboratory and Library Attendants and that 6.30 hrs. per day has been their demand and the same is acceptable to them and that the Party I does not wish to pursue the present reference pertaining to the working hours and with regard to other demands, the Party I has filed the Writ Petition No. 86/2019 in the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Panaji, Goa Bench and that they are pursuing those demands before other authorities and hence the Party I does not wish to pursue the same before this authority and therefore, the matter may be closed.

Therefore, there remains no dispute, claim and/or demand of whatsoever nature against each other in the present reference.

By Order dated 02-07-2015, bearing No. 28/23/ /2015-Lab/674, the Government of Goa in exercise of powers conferred by Section 10 (1)(d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short The Act), has referred the following dispute to the Tribunal for adjudication.
"(1) Whether the action of the management of Vidhya Prabhodini Higher Secondary School, Porvorim, Goa, in refusing to concede the following demands raised by the Higher Secondary and College Attendants Association of Goa, vide their letter dated 24-03-2014, is legal and justified?
CHARTER OF DEMANDS
(i) Laboratory Attendants and Library Attendants in Higher Secondary Schools should be granted vacation as is granted to the Laboratory Assistants and Librarian every year as per rules.
(ii) Laboratory Attendants should be allotted duties only in laboratories and Library Attendants should be allotted duties only in libraries as per rules.

(2) If the answer to issue No. (1) above is in the negative, then, what relief the workmen are entitled to?"
2. Upon receipt of the reference, it was registered as IT/23/15 and registered A/D notices were issued to both the parties. Pursuant to service of notices, the Party I filed a Claim statement at Exb. 7 and the Party II(1) filed a Written statement at Exh. 10.
3. In short, the case of the Party I is that the Party II is a Higher Secondary School operating in Porvorim for the last several decades imparting education to the students of class XI and XII and managed by Managing Committee duly elected from time to time and is governed by Goa Education Act and Rules. The Par ty II has appointed Laboratory and Library Attendants and are placed under the supervision and control of head of higher secondary school. The Laboratory and Library Assistants across 17 different Higher Secondary OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 45 6TH FEBRUARY, 2020 Schools and Colleges have formed their union and the Laboratory and Library Assistants at Party II are the members of the Association. The Party I have raised a Charter of demands dated 4-11-2013 before the Directorate of Education and 17 of Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges containing the demands subject matter of the present reference. The Directorate of Education in its reply dated 16-12-2013 claimed that an Association should approach their respective employers for their demands since they are been appointed by the respective management. The Association then raised Charter of demands with the Party II vide letter dated 24-3-2014 and as the Party II did not reply to the Charter of demands, the Party I approached the Labour Commissioner for conciliation and as the Party II refused to discuss the demands, the Assistant Labour Commissioner recorded the failure of conciliation proceedings. The demands raised by Party I are legal and justified and are as per Goa Education Act and Rules and directions issued by the Government of Goa from time to time. The act of the management not to accede to the demands of the Party I is unjust, unfair and unreasonable and is in contravention of the Goa Education Act and Rules. The Party I is entitled for the reliefs claimed.
4. The Party II(1) filed a written statement inter-alia contending that the present reference is based on erroneous premise, convoluted logic and smacks of manipulation and is misleading and as such it deserves to be rejected. The Party I workmen have no locus standi to raise and pursue the present matter.
5. It is a matter of record that the Party II(1) has filed an application for addition of Directorate of Education, Government of Goa as Party to the proceedings and as the Party I has given no objection, Directorate of Education, Government of Goa has been added as Party II(2). The Party II(2) thereafter filed a written statement inter-alia contending that the Chairman of the School Managing Committee is the appointing authority of the workmen in the higher secondary schools concerned in Goa and they are governed by Goa School Education Act, 1984 and Rules, 1986 and the circulars issued from time to time. The Party I are not the employees of the Directorate of Education and therefore the reference be dismissed.
6. Issues that came to be framed at Exh. 14 are
as follows:
(1) Whether the Party I proves that the action of Party II in refusing to concede their demands mentioned in the schedule, is illegal and unjustified?
(2) Whether Party II proves that the Industrial Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for adjudicating the dispute?
(3) What Relief? What Award?
7. It is a matter of record that the matter was
posted for evidence and during the course of proceedings, Shri Subhash Naik Jorge for the Party I has filed an application along with a Circular dated 17-12-2019 issued by the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa at Exh. 21 colly stating that the Under Secretary (Higher
Education) issued the Circular fixing working hours of 6.30 hrs. per day excluding lunch break for all Educational Institutions observing 6 days a week for Party I workmen i.e. Laboratory and Library Attendants and that 6.30 hrs. per day has been their demand and the same is acceptable to them
and that the Party I does not wish to pursue the present reference pertaining to the working hours and with regard to other demands, the Party I has filed a Writ Petition No. 86/2019 in the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Panaji, Goa Bench and that they are pursuing those demands before other
authorities and hence, the Party I does not wish to pursue the same before this authority and therefore the matter may be closed. Needless to mention, the above circular has been issued by Directorate of Higher Education and not the Directorate of Education, concerned in the present reference. Be
that as it may, it appears that the Party I workmen are satisfied with the above circular. It also appears that the Party I is not interested in pursuing the matter, although evidence has been led, for the reasons stated above. Therefore, there remains no dispute, claim and/or demand of whatsoever
nature against each other in the present reference.

The Directorate of Education in its reply dated 16-12-2013 stated that the Association suits approach their respective OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 45 6TH FEBRUARY, 2020 and with regard to other demands, the Party I has filed the Writ Petition No. 86/2019 in the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Panaji, Goa Bench and that they are pursuing those demands before other authorities and hence the Party I does not wish to pursue the same before this authority and therefore the matter may be closed. It appears that the Party I is not interested in pursuing the matter for the reasons stated above. Therefore, there remains no dispute, claim and/or demand of whatsoever nature against each other in the present reference.
7. In view above, I pass the following:
ORDER
employers for demands since they have been appointed by the respective management. The Association then raised a Charter of demands with the Party II vide letter dated 24-3-2014. The Party II did not replied to the Charter of demands and as such the Party I approached the Labour Commissioner for conciliation who requested the Party II to attend the conciliation proceedings and as the Party II refused to discuss the demands, the Assistant Labour Commissioner recorded failure of the conciliation proceedings. The demands raised by Party I are legal and justified as per the Goa Education Act and Rules and direction issued by the Government of Goa from time to time. The action of the management in rejecting the demands of the Party I is illegal and unjustified. Hence, the reference.
(i) The reference stands disposed of in terms
of the application at Exhibit 9 colly.
(ii) No order as to costs.
(iii) Inform the Government accordingly.

4. The Party II(1) filed a written statement inter- -alia contending that the Party I is not competent to raise the dispute. The Charter of demands was submitted by Association without any authorization or support of the members. The alleged dispute is not an industrial dispute as the demands were not raised on the Party II. The Industrial Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for adjudicating the dispute. The terms of reference does not include the State Government which is the body that provides the grants for the payment of wages and other monetary benefits to the employees.
5. Issues that came to be framed at Exh. 7 are
as follows:
(1) Whether the Party I prove that the action of Party II in not conceding their demands mentioned in the schedule, is illegal and unjustified?
(2) Whether Party II proves that the Industrial Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for adjudicating the dispute?

(Delivered on this the 23rd day of the month of December, of the year 2019)
By Order dated 02-07-2015, bearing No. 28/34/ /2015-Lab/676, the Government of Goa in exercise of powers conferred by Section 10 (1)(d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short The Act), has referred the following dispute to the Tribunal for adjudication.
"(1) Whether the action of the management of St. Xavier College, Mapusa, Goa, in refusing to concede the following demands raised by the Higher Secondary and College Attendants Association of Goa, vide letter dated 24-03-2014, is legal and justified?
CHARTER OF DEMANDS

3. In short, the case of the Party I is that the Party II(1) is a College which has been operating at Mapusa for last several decades managed by the managing committee and is governed by Directorate of Education, Government of Goa. The managing committee is the appointing authority for all the teaching and non-teaching staff. The Laboratory and Library Attendants have been appointed by the Party II(1) and have been placed under supervision and control of head of College. The Laboratory and Library Assistants across 17 different Higher Secondary and Colleges have formed their union and they are the members of Higher Secondary and College Attendants Association. The Party I have raised the Charter of demands dated 4-11-2013 with Directorate of Education and 17 Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges. The Directorate of Education in its reply dated 16-12-2013 stated that the Association suits approach their respective employers for demands since they have been appointed by the respective management.

The demands raised by Party I are legal and justified as per the Goa Education Act and Rules and direction issued by the Government of Goa from time to time. The action of the management in rejecting the demands of the Party I is illegal and unjustified. Hence, the reference.

OF GOA SERIES II No. 45 6TH FEBRUARY, 2020 reference before the Court. The Party II(1) is not running any industrial activity and/or not industry within the meaning of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The reference therefore may be dismissed.
5. It is a matter of record that the Party II(1) has
filed an application for addition of Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa and Goa University to the present proceedings and as the Party I had given no objection, Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa and Goa University have been added as Party II(2) and Party II(3)
respectively. The Party II(2) thereafter filed a written statement inter-alia contending that in terms of Office memorandum dated 21-11-2016 of Department of Personnel, Government of Goa, the posts of Laboratory Attendants and Library Attendants, which were erstwhile group 'D' posts
are now classified as group 'C' and designated as 'Multi Tasking Staff' with the actual duties as enumerated in the annexure and all the recruitment rules and service rules of the Government are applicable to the aided colleges which are fully funded by the Government by way of salary grant Circular dated 17-12-2019 issued by the Directorate

Attendants and that 6.30 hrs per day has been their demand and the same is acceptable to them and that the Party I does not wish to pursue the present reference pertaining to the working hours and with regard to other demands, the Party I has filed the Writ Petition No. 86/2019 in the Hon'ble

reasons stated above. Therefore, there remains no dispute, claim and/or demand of whatsoever nature against each other in the present reference.

The action of the management in rejecting the demands of the Party I is illegal and unjustified. Hence, the reference.
4. In the Written statement, the Party II has claimed that the Party I have no locus standi to raise and pursue the present matter against the Party II as the reference is bad in law and not capable of adjudication according to law, which is based on erroneous premise, convoluted logic and smacks of manipulation. The present reference is bad in law for non joinder of necessary party i.e. Directorate of Education, so also the claim of the OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 45 6TH FEBRUARY, 2020
Notification
Party I workmen is not an industrial dispute as defined under Section 2(k) of the Act.
5. Issues that came to be framed at Exh. 12 are
as follows:
(1) Whether the Party I proves that the action of Party II in refusing to concede their demands mentioned in the schedule, is illegal and unjustified?
(2) Whether Party II proves that the Industrial Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for adjudicating the dispute?
(3) What Relief? What Award?
6. It is a matter of record that the matter was fixed for final arguments and during the course of proceedings, Shri Subhash Naik Jorge for the Party I has filed an application along with a Circular dated 17-12-2019 issued by the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa at Exh. 45 colly stating that the Under Secretary (Higher Education) issued the above Circular fixing working hours of 6.30 hrs. per day excluding lunch break for all Educational Institutions observing 6 days a week for Party I workmen i.e. Laboratory and Library Attendants and that 6.30 hrs. per day has been their demand and the same is acceptable to them and that the Party I does not wish to pursue the present reference pertaining to the working hours and with regard to other demands, the Party I has filed the Writ Petition No. 86/2019 in the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Panaji, Goa Bench and that they are pursuing those demands before other authorities and hence the Party I does not wish to pursue the same before this authority and therefore the matter may be closed. It appears that the Party I is not interested in pursuing the matter, although evidence has been led, for the reasons stated above. Therefore, there remains no dispute, claim and/or demand of whatsoever nature against each other in the present reference.
7. In view above, I pass the following:
ORDER
(i) The reference stands disposed of in terms
of the application at Exhibit 45 colly.
(ii) No order as to costs.
(iii) Inform the Government accordingly.

AWARD
(Delivered on this the 10th day of the month of January, of the year 2020)
By Order dated 29-11-2018, bearing No. 28/20/ /2018-LAB/758, the Government of Goa in exercise of powers conferred by Section 10 (1)(d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short The Act), has referred the following dispute to the Tribunal for adjudication.
"(1) Whether the action of the management of M/s. Tulip Diagnostics (P) Limited, Verna Industrial Estate, Verna, Goa, in transferring the workmen S/Shri Vishwanath Madkaikar, Ankush Naik, Vishwas Gaude and Sandesh OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 45 6TH FEBRUARY, 2020 Rane, Production Assistants to M/s. Zephyr Biomedical, Verna Industrial Estate, Verna, Goa, w.e.f. 24-10-2017 is legal and unjustified?
(2) If not, to what relief the workmen are
entitled?"
2. Upon receipt of the reference, it was registered as IT/16/18 and registered A/D notices were issued to both the parties. Pursuant to service of notices, Party I filed a statement of claim at Exb. 5 and the Party I filed the written statement at Exh. 8.
3. In short, the case of the Party I is that the matter of Charter of demands was pending before the Dy. Labour Commissioner, Margao and on receipt of the notice, the officers of the Party II started threatening and harassing the workmen as they joined the Union and demanded settlement of Charter of demands. The Party I has also raised the dispute regarding non-payment of the bonus and on receipt of the notice from the Assistant Labour Commissioner, the Party II got annoyed and transferred the active members of the Union. The transfer order issued was malafide only to victimize and harass the members of the union to do away with the Party I as they have joined the Union.
and therefore 'no dispute' award be passed. Learned Adv. Shri M. S. Bandodkar for the Party II has accorded no objection for passing such an award. It therefore appears that the Party I is not interested in pursuing the matter for the reasons stated in the above application. Therefore, there remains no dispute, claim and/or demand of whatsoever nature against each other in the present reference.
7. In view of above, I pass the following:
ORDER
(i) The reference stands disposed of in terms of the application filed by the Party I workmen at Exhibit 13.
(ii) No order as to costs.
(iii) Inform the Government accordingly.

Order
4. In the written statement, the Party II has inter- alia contended that the entire demand as contained in the statement of claim is bad in law and not maintainable. No service conditions were changed and transfer from one location to another location in the same Industrial estate was done due to business exigencies. The Party I have not made out any case for grant of relief and therefore, the reference be rejected.
5. Issues that came to be framed at Exhibit 11
