Holding
The petitions are disposed of as infructuous because the underlying Labour Court reference cases have been dismissed for default.
Summary
The petitioner, Sintex BAPL Limited, filed a series of special civil applications seeking relief. The petitioner argued that multiple Labour Court reference cases (Nos. 21 of 2017, 10 of 2020, etc.) had been dismissed for default on 13‑02‑2025 and 18‑02‑2025, rendering the pending petitions moot. The learned counsel submitted that, because the underlying reference matters were no longer alive, the petitions should be disposed as infructuous. The Court agreed, holding that the dismissal of the reference cases extinguished the cause of action in the present petitions. Consequently, the Court discharged the notices, vacated any interim relief, and ordered the petitions to be disposed. The order was signed by Justice Hemant M. Prachchak on 29‑01‑2026.
Issues considered
- Does the dismissal of related Labour Court reference cases for default render the pending civil petitions infructuous?
- Should interim relief granted in the petitions be vacated upon their disposal?
