Vip Industries Limited vs // on 3 April, 2012
A Division Bench of this Court has in the judgment in Mah. General
Kamgar Union Vs. P.T. Ltd., reported in 2011 (1) Mh.L.J. 601 observed that, on
a plain reading of clause (a) of Section 33A, it is clear that the said clause does
not confer any power of adjudication on a Conciliation Officer and therefore,
to interfere with the action of an employer. The Court went on to add that the
Conciliation Officer is entitled only to take into account a complaint made by
the employee while mediating in and promoting the settlement of the
industrial disputes.
