ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)
This appeal is taken up for final disposal with the consent of both the learned counsel appearing for the respective parties.
2. The present appeal is filed against the order passed by the learned Single Judge vacating the interim order that had been operating in favour of the appellants for a period of six months. Learned Single Judge vacated the interim order on the ground that the writ petitions were not maintainable in view of the availability of an alternate remedy under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
3. We are not expressing any opinion on the view taken by the learned Single Judge. However, we are of the
HC-KAR
considered view that when the writ petitions are still pending adjudication, it would not be appropriate to vacate the interim order at this stage.
4. Accordingly, we dispose of the appeal requesting the learned Single Judge to decide the matter finally preferable as expeditiously as possible may be within a period of two months.
5. The parties are directed to extend full cooperation to facilitate early disposal of the writ petitions and shall not seek unnecessary adjournments before the learned Single Judge.
6. Till the writ petitions are finally decided by the learned Single Judge, the interim order dated 08.04.2026 which was in operation prior to the passing of the impugned order, shall continue to remain in operation.
7. The parties are at liberty to file further pleadings and take all contentions as may be available under the law.
HC-KAR
8. The writ appeal stands disposed of in the above terms.
