The petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging Ext.P1 order dated 09.02.2005 passed by the Labour Court, Kozhikode. The Labour Court has directed the management to reinstate the worker in service within 30 days of the publication of the award with back wages and with continuity of service. 3. The only question arises for adjudication is regarding the back wages. Pending disposal of the writ petition, I suggest the learned counsel for the parties to settle the matter. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner's unit is a small fruit stall, that he is not in a position to pay the entire amount as directed by the Labour Court and that he is ready and willing to pay `54,000/- towards the full and final settlement of the claim of respondent No.1 with regard to back wages. 4. Considering the nature of the grievance, I direct that the petitioner shall pay ` 54,000/- (Rupees fifty four thousand W.P.(C) No. 11917/2005 -:2:- only) to respondent No.1 by demand draft (account payee) by 15th of January towards the full and final settlement of the claim of the respondent No.1. This writ petition is disposed of as above. sd/- B.P. RAY, JUDGE. rv W.P.(C) No. 11917/2005 -:3:- B.P.
