DATE : 5th May 2005 DATE : 5th May 2005 DATE : 5th May 2005 P.C. : P.C. : P.C. : 1. All the above Motions seek an interim stay -5- of the orders passed on Complaint (ULP) No.494 OF 1996. Affidavits are filed in these appeals offering appropriate interim revision. The offer is without prejudice to the challenge in the appeals. We have gone through the affidavits and the proposals contained therein. The affidavits explain as to what are the amounts which are being offered to each of the employees. We had tried to see if the matter could be settled on an overall basis. It is not being settled. The appeals involve questions of law. Therefore, the appeals have been admitted. There will be a stay of the impugned order dated 29th September 2004 passed by the Single Judge and of the Industrial Court in terms of prayer clause (a). That will, however, be on the term that the appellants pay the revised wages as offered in the affidavits with effect from the date of the judgment of Industrial Court on the Complaint i.e. with effect from 6th of May 2004. The arrears arising therefrom will be paid by end of June 2005 along with the salary. Payment and receipt will be without prejudice to the rights of the parties. 2. We make it clear that though the stay of the order is granted, it is confined principally to the revision of wages granted under the order. -6- 3. The Motions are disposed of in the above terms.
