W.A. No.2111 of 2006 .................................................................... Dated this the 23rd day of January, 2007. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The Writ Appeal is filed against the interim order of the learned Single Judge directing payment of wage arrears under Section 17B of the Industrial Disputes Act. 2. We have heard counsel for the appellant and counsel appearing for respondents. On going through the interim order of the learned Single Judge, we feel the order to give arrears of wages to one of the employees till the date of her retirement and for the remaining 19 workers till disposal of the Writ Petition is justified. However, in view of the serious disputes raised by the appellant, the W.P. should be heard and disposed of at an early date. The appellant can move the learned Single Judge for early disposal of the W.P. The Writ Appeal is dismissed with the above observation. V.K.BALI Chief Justice C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
