1 lpa40.07.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO. 40 OF 2007 IN WRIT PETITION NO.1748 OF 2006 The Joint Secretary, Akhil Bhartiya Maratha Shikshan Parishad ..Appellant Vs. Laxman Dnyanu Kolekar & Anr. .. Respondents Mr. R.S. Pai with Ms. Pallavi Dedhia i/by M/s Sanjay Udeshi & Co. for the Appellant. Mr. A.S. Rao for Respondent . CORAM : P.B. MAJMUDAR AND A.A. SAYED, JJ. DATE : 7TH JUNE, 2011. P.C. 1. This appeal is directed against the order of the learned Single Judge, by which order the learned Single Judge while admitting the writ petition refused interim relief in favour of the appellant. The appellant herein has challenged the order passed by the Industrial Court in Revision (ULP) No. 136 of 2005 by which the Industrial Court passed the order of reinstatement in favour of the respondent workmen. The learned Single Judge while admitting the petition reused to grant interim relief. The Division Bench of 2 lpa40.07.sxw this Court has admitted the appeal. In our view, when the writ petition is already admitted by not granting interim relief against the order of the Industrial Court, the petition filed by the appellant itself has become infructuous. While admitting the petition the learned Single Judge has not given reasons for not granting interim relief. Be that as it may, since this appeal is pending from 2007 and considerable time has passed thereafter, we deem it proper to dispose of the matter by requesting the learned Single Judge to dispose of the writ Petition No. 1748 of 2006 preferably by 30th September, 2011. 2. Till the learned Single Judge dispose of the writ petition, interim relief granted by this Court shall continue to operate. We have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the matter and the learned Single Judge to decide the petition on its own merits. 3. Subject to what is stated above, the appeal is disposed of.
