3.The issue raised in this writ petition is covered by a recent

¶23

judgment of this Court in W.P.(MD)No.9834 of 2015, dated 17.06.2015 and the following order is passed:

¶24

“The issue raised in this writ petition is to permit the petitioner to continue till the age of 60 and not pertaining to abolition of Contract Labourers. Whether the petitioner has to continue till the age 60 is to be decided by the Contractor and not by the Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited. Even a writ to abolish the contract labour is not maintainable as special machanism is provided under this 1970 Act for abolition of contract labour system. Therefore, the writ petition against the contractor/private party will not lie. I find no merits in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed.

¶25

Accordingly this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected M.P.(MD)No.1 of 2015 is also dismissed.”

¶26

4.In view of the same issue as raised by this petitioner is considered in W.P.(MD)No.9834 of 2015 and the writ petition is dismissed, the present writ petition is also liable to be dismissed.

¶27

5.Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is also dismissed.
