- Decided
- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
The High Court held that the settlement recorded on 13 July 2026 supersedes the earlier Industrial Court orders, and therefore the writ petitions are disposed with the orders modified accordingly.
Summary
The Vibhag Niyantrak Maha. Rajya Parivahan Mahamandal Pune Division filed three writ petitions against respondents Mohan Digambar Chavare, Arjun Dattatray Shirke and the late Sanjay Dattatray Virkar. The petitioners sought correction of names in the pleadings and a resolution of disputes arising from orders of the Industrial Court. On 13 July 2026, a meeting was held between the parties, and a settlement was recorded in minutes, which the petitioners submitted to the court. The court accepted the settlement, ordered that the Industrial Court's earlier orders be modified and substituted in accordance with the agreement, and permitted the petitioners to withdraw the amounts deposited with accrued interest for payment to the respondents or their heirs. Consequently, all three writ petitions were disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court can modify and substitute the orders of the Industrial Court based on a settlement between the parties.
- Whether correction of the names of respondents in the writ petitions is permissible.
- Whether the petitioners may withdraw the amounts deposited with interest for settlement payments.
Subjects
