Heard Mrs. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader for the appellants, Mr. Kalbande, learned counsel waives notice on behalf of respondent no.1.Respondent no.2 being formal party notice is dispensed with. By this Letters Patent Appeal, the appellants take exception to the order dated 13th September, 2007 by which Writ Petition No.2819/2007 preferred against award dated 11.1.1993 passed by the Labour Court was dismissed. By the said award, the Labour Court directed reinstatement of respondent no.1 and granted back wages. There is no dispute that pursuant to the said award, respondent no.1 was reinstatement on 16.3.1993 and thereafter he was promoted by order dated 5.7.2007. 2 Mr. Kalbandhe,learned counsel for respondent no.1 upon taking instructions from his client states that respondent no.1 is ready to forgo 50% of the back wages awarded by the Labour Court. The statement is accepted. We are not inclined to entertain the appeal since we find no merit in the present appeal. However, in view of the statement made by Mr. Kalbandhe on behalf of respondent no.1, the award passed by the Labour Court is modified and respondent no.1 is held entitled to 50% of the back wages. The appellant shall pay 50% of the back wages to respondent no.1 within a period of 12 weeks. LPA stands disposed of disposed of subject to the directions given above. C.A. No. 9269/2007 In view of the disposal of the appeal, the application is disposed of as infructuous. JUDGE JUDGE 3 Ambulkar.
