Inasmuch as the respondents have taken steps to address the grievance of the petitioner by arranging for conciliation, it is not necessary to entertain this writ petition at this stage. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to complete the process of conciliation as early as possible and to respondent No.1 to take expeditious action depending upon the result of the conciliation proceedings. In the event of an adverse order being passed against the petitioner, he shall be free to avail his legal remedy.
