ONGC EMPLOYEES MAZDOOR SABHA Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PER <DJG>AKIL KURESHI</DJG>, J: - 1. Since the issues involved in these petitions overlap, they have been heard together.

(2.) SPECIAL Civil Application No. 15607 of 2004 is filed by one ONGC Mazdoor Sangh. This union espouses the cause of number of persons who were employed by the respondent No.1 i.e., Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (for short ONGC). This petition is directly filed before this High Court claiming a declaration that the decision of the respondent Management to terminate the services of the concerned employees who have been appointed on the fixed term basis including the employees mentioned at Annexure 11 as illegal and unjust and that the same amounts to unfair practice. By way of interim relief, it is prayed that the respondents be restrained from terminating the services of the employees concerned.
