No.22956 of 2002 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioners approached this court with certain grievances regarding steps taken for recovery of the project allowance. There is an interim order dated 13-8-2002 staying the recovery. According to the petitioners they are entitled to the allowance as per the Government circulars as also Exts.P1 and P3 orders. Be that as it may, the impugned project allowance is for the period from October 2000 to November 2001. Since the petitioners have already been paid the project allowance, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the interim order making it clear that in case they have still any grievance left they may approach the first respondent or work out the remedy under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) ahg.
