Development in ITS repatriation case

Writ petition 1803/2013 filed jointly by SNEA(I), BSNLEU and AIBSNLEA praying for quashing the order of DoT dated 11.3.2013 to deploy unabsorbed ITS to BSNL came up for hearing in the Hon Delhi HC. Hon HC while maintaining that the order of DoT dated 11.3.2013 is a clear infringement of the judgment of the Hon HC in WP 22515/2005 and CM 16683/2013(Application filed by SNEA(I), BSNLEU and AIBSNLEA), however advised the applicants to move applications seeking similar relief at appropriate forum. Hon bench during the course of argument observed that passing any order in the instant writ petition might prejudice contempt proceedings already initiated by the Hon Delhi High Court.  

We engaged Senior Advocate Sri. Neeraj Kaul and heated arguments took place. UOI represented by Addl. Solicitor General and BSNL by Sr. Advocate Sri. V. K. Rao. We will be taking further course of action in the coming days.
