This court has already passed an interim order in favour of the writ petitioner on 26.02.2008. The said order will safeguard the interest of both sides. But the workmen point out that by the time the statutory authorities conclude the proceedings, if the entire work is over, they will be prejudiced. If the District Labour Officer under the Headload Workers Act upholds the claim of the workmen, the said officer shall also specify the wages the workmen may have lost as a result of the interim order passed by this court and also direct the petitioner herein to pay the said amount to the local pool of the headload workers so that the same can be paid to the workmen concerned. With the above direction and maintaining the interim order, the Writ Petition is disposed of. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE 29.02.2008 P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE sta 2
