Ajai Lamba, J.@mdashThis civil writ petition has been filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, praying for issuance of a writ in the
nature of certiorari, quashing Order dated 15.9.2008 (Annexure P-8) passed by respondent No. 4 i.e. Executive Engineer, Division No. 1, PWD
(B & R), Patiala, vide which the petitioners have been asked to join duties on Saturday also despite the notification issued by the Punjab

2. The facts in detail are not required to be given in so much as it is the conceded position that there would be disputed questions of facts for
adjudication. Matter needs to be relegated to authority u/s 33-C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short, ''the Act''). It transpires that
some of the petitioners have already approached the authority for making claim u/s 33-C(2) of the Act.

titled ''Commission Secretary, Printing and Stationery, Haryana and Anr. v. Presiding Officer, Labour Court, U.T. Chandigarh and Anr.''.
4. Learned Counsel for the respondent-State contends that the respondents would not have any objection if the petitioners are relegated to the
remedy under the Industrial Disputes Act.
5. This petition is accordingly disposed of while holding that the petitioners, who have not approached the authority u/s 33-C(2) of the Act, would
be entitled to approach the Tribunal under the Act.
