Let it be recorded that first LPA i.e. 742 of 2009 is within time and in respect of other appeals although there is delay of one day but the said delay is being condoned after hearing the parties. On merits, learned counsel for the appellants has placed reliance upon the third supplementary affidavit filed on behalf of the appellants which discloses certain subsequent developments which took place during the pendency of these appeals before this court. Annexure-9 to the third supplementary affidavit is a letter bearing - 4 - no.126 dated 24.7.2009 sent by the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority Employees Union to the Managing Director of the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority. In that letter, the employees have referred to talks held with the management and request has been made to accept the joining being submitted by the concerned employees so that from the date of their joining pay and other emoluments may be paid to the concerned employees. The employees have assured the management of full cooperation and of discipline on their behalf. In the third supplementary affidavit, categorical statements have been made in paragraphs 5 and 6 that the writ petitioners/respondents have also signed on the said letter and the authority after considering their representations and undertaking wants the LPAs to be disposed of in terms of their undertaking. On the last date, we had granted adjournment so that the counsel for the respondents may seek instructions from their client in respect of the stand of the appellants in the third supplementary affidavit. On behalf of the respondents, it has been submitted that the dispute may now be amicably resolved in view of the undertaking by the employees which the authority has already decided to accept. In the light of the aforesaid stand of the appellants in paragraph 6 of the third supplementary affidavit, all the appeals are finally disposed of in terms of the stand of the appellants in the third supplementary affidavit. As a result, all the effected writ petitioners will be taken back into their earlier service and the only injury they will suffer is non-payment for the period till they submit the joining - 5 - and begin to work. In the result, all the appeals are disposed of in terms of the compromise noticed above. JA/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ) (Anjana Prakash, J.)
