Judgment :- 1. The writ petition is filed for a mandamus directing the third respondent to take the Industrial dispute on file since the Registered Office of the Management comes within his jurisdiction and that is objected to by the Management by stating that the cause of action, if at all, for filing an application under Section 2A of the I.D. Act will arise before the Labour Officer, Hosur in whose jurisdiction the factory where the petitioner was working is located. That issue has been decided by this court in W.P.No.13700 of 2002 in the case of N.Ramathilagam Vs. Labour Officer (Conciliation) dated 18.6.2003. I am in respectful agreement with the decision of the learned Judge. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed but with liberty to the petitioner to go before the competent authority having jurisdiction and raise the dispute in accordance with the provisions of the I.D. Act. No costs.
