1. The present petitions have been filed by the Petitioner, Delhi International Airport Limited ("DIAL"), under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, assailing References dated 04.08.2017, 24.08.2018 and 01.04.2019 ("Impugned References") in W.P.(C) Nos. 14304/2025, 15908/2025 and 15923/2025 respectively, issued by the Central Government under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 ("ID Act"), whereby the industrial dispute raised by the Respondent No.1 Association/ Cambata Aviation Workers Association has been entertained and directions have been issued for consideration of reinstatement and continuity of service. Vide the consequential order dated 04.06.2025 ("Impugned Order") passed by the learned Central Government Industrial Tribunal cum Labour Court No. II, New Delhi ("CGIT"), the Petitioner's application/s seeking amendment of its written statement before the learned CGIT, had been dismissed. The aforesaid Impugned References and Impugned Order have been assailed by way of the present petitions.
2. The core grievance of the Petitioner is that the workmen of the Respondent No.1 Association were never employed by DIAL, but by the Respondent No. 3/ Cambata Aviation Private Limited ("CAPL"), a ground-handling service provider, and therefore, no industrial dispute could exist between DIAL and the said workmen. The Petitioner contends that the Impugned References itself are fundamentally misconceived, and the continuation of proceedings before the CGIT amounts to an abuse of process.
"1) Pass an award in favour of the workmen and against the managements thereby directing the management of M/s. Cambata Aviation Pvt. Ltd to reinstate the workmen back on duty along with full back wages and consequential benefits.
2) Or in alternatively direct the management of M/s. Delhi International Airport Ltd to reinstate the workmen either on its own roll or through any ground handling agency appointed by DIAL which has taken over the work of M/s. Camabata Aviation Pvt. Ltd. at IGI Airport, Delhi.
