HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI G.S. SINGHVI AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Appeal No.427 of 2007 Between: Ushodaya Publications, Eenadu Compound, Somajiguda, Hyderabad rep., by its Managing Director Ch. Kiran, S/o: Ramoji Rao, Aged 43 years, R/o. Hyderabad … Appellant And The Additional Industrial Tribunal Cum Labour Court, Chandravihar Complex, Nampally, Hyderabad, Rep., by its Presiding Officer and another … Respondents ::JUDGMENT:: Counsel for the appellant : Ms. G. Sudha June 4, 2007 Per G.S. Singhvi, CJ This appeal is directed against order dated 20-03-2007 passed by the learned Single Judge in WPMP No. 6966 of 2007 in Writ Petition No. 5480 of 2007, whereby he stayed order dated 18-10-2006 passed by the Additional Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Hyderabad (respondent No. 1) in M.P No. 66 of 1999 subject to the condition of deposit of 50% of the disputed amount with liberty to respondent No. 2 to withdraw the same without furnishing security. We have heard Ms. G. Sudha, learned counsel for the appellant and perused the record. Since the writ petition filed by the appellant is pending adjudication before the learned Single Judge, we do not consider it proper to express any opinion on the merits of its challenge to the order passed by respondent No.1. However, keeping in view the fact that the total amount required to be deposited by the appellant in terms of the order under challenge is less than Rs.20,000/-, we do not find any justification to interfere with the discretion exercised by the learned Single Judge not to pass an interim order in absolute terms. With the above observation, the appeal is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the appeal, WAMP No.795 of 2007 filed by the appellant for interim relief is also dismissed. G.S. SINGHVI, CJ C.V.
