The learned Single Judge of the High Court, while deciding the writ petition held that the settlement dated 3.9.1979 which became effective from 1.10.78 having been acted upon and during the subsistence of the settlement, the reference companyld number have been made and, moreover, the parity claimed in the emoluments to be paid to the workmen and the ministerial staff forming separate categories cannot be drawn and, therefore, enhancing the remuneration from 1.10.1983 is untenable and allowed the writ petition by setting aside the award made by the Labour Court and rejecting the reference made by the Government.
The second category of employees ministerial staff raised an industrial dispute which was referred by the Government of Karnataka on the following two questions 1 whether the appellant is justified in changing the weekly holidays of the staff members with effect from 16.11.1980?
The Labour Court answered both the questions in the affirmative and made an award that the increased emoluments to the second category of workmen will become payable from 1.10.1983.
The companyrectness of the said award was challenged in a writ petition filed by the appellant.
On an appeal, the Division Bench of the High Court reversed the decision of the learned Single Judge and restored the award made by the Labour Court.
The view of the learned Single Judge is companymended for acceptance by the learned companynsel for the appellants.
Hence this appeal.
