MUMBAI, July 24: Gangster Arun Gawli’s Akhil Bharatiya Sena (ABS) today opposed the Shiv Sena’s plea to be a party in the ongoing court case between the ABS union and the Hotel Oberoi management.

The Akhil Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (ABKS), the workers’ front of ABS, has filed a case against the Hotel Oberoi management for its `biased’ attitude towards ABS members at the hotel. The industrial court recently passed an injunction in this case barring the Oberoi management from sacking ABKS members employed with the hotel.

Recently, Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS), the Shiv Sena union, had filed an application in the court requesting to be a party in the case. When the court asked the hotel management and ABKS to file a reply with regard to the BKS’s intention, the former said it had no objection if BKS became a party in the case.

However, the ABKS has strongly objected to BKS, saying it was fighting with the management and not with the Shiv Sena union. Advocate Sharad Pathak representing Gawli’s union today filed a written reply before Judge V L Kamble of the industrial court. The court will give its decision on the BKS application in the next hearing.
