Employer is before us being aggrieved by the orders passed by the learned Single Judge in C.M.P.No.12224/2000 dated 7th April, 2000. In the impugned order, learned Single Judge had directed the appellant - Society to pay wages as provided under Section 17B of the Industrial Disputes Act to the workman. 2. This court while entertaining this writ appeal had not given any interim order. This only means that employer must be paying Section 17B wages to the workman. 3. The original petition is of the year 1998. At this stage in our opinion it is wholly unnecessary to go into the correctness or otherwise of the interim order passed by the learned Single Judge. 4. In that view of the matter, we are disposing of this matter. However, liberty is reserved to the appellant/employer to request the learned Single Judge for an early disposal of the original petition, which is of the year 1998. Ordered accordingly.
