1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH AT NAGPUR Letters Patent Appeal No. 228/2008 in Writ Petition No. 2853/2008 Ispat Industries Ltd., through General Manager ..vs.. Arvind Ramdas Valke -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. S. N. Kumar, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Arvind Valke, respondent in person. CORAM: ANOOP V. MOHTA & C. L. PANGARKAR, JJ. DATED : 12 th August, 2008 Heard by consent finally. Against order dated 31.01.2007 passed by the Industrial Court, Maharashtra, Nagpur Bench whereby respondent/original complainant's complaint was dismissed as untenable. The appellant as well as respondent no. 1/ original complainant have preferred two separate writ petitions. The writ petition filed by the complainant having its No. 1114/2007 is still pending. However, the writ petition filed by the appellant was dismissed on the 2 ground that the plea of limitation was not at all set up and no issue was also framed. We have noted in para 23 of the order passed by the Industrial Court that the point of limitation was decided. Therefore, having once decided that point, the decision of this writ petition by deciding the writ petition filed by respondent no. 1 against the same order could ultimately affect the rights of the appellant in a situation where the petition filed by the complainant is allowed. Hence, without observing anything at this stage on merit of the matter, we are of the view that both the writ petitions be heard together and disposed of accordingly. In view of this, the present Letters Patent Appeal is allowed. The impugned judgment passed by the learned Single Judge dated 25.07.2008 is quashed and set aside keeping all the points open.
