It is submitted that, the said authority is in the process of considering the grievances and passing necessary orders thereon. In the above circumstances, the direction issued by this Court to the District Labour Officer, Kottayam would only cause needless confusion for the reason that the said authority would also initiate parallel proceedings. Therefore, the petitioner seeks a modification of the judgment of this R.P.No.466/2010 2 Court and the issue of the said direction to the additional 7th respondent in the Writ Petition. The prayer in the Review Petition is not opposed by the respondents. 2. In the above circumstances, this Review Petition is allowed. The direction issued to the first respondent in the Writ Petition, the District Labour Officer, Kottayam, is recalled. The additional 7th respondent is directed to consider the grievances of the petitioners and to pass appropriate orders thereon as enjoined by law. It is pointed out that the petitions submitted by the petitioners are already pending consideration of the said authority. The petitioners are permitted to make further representations, if they so choose. The additional 7th respondent shall consider the grievances of the petitioners and shall pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
