For the Respondent No.: GP FOR LABOUR The Court Made the Following : JUDGMENT: (Per Sri Bilal Nazki, J). This Writ Appeal is filed against the order passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in Writ Petition No.5058 of 2002. By proceedings dated 07.02.2002, the Commissioner of Labour passed orders, directing the Writ Petitioners to let off 24 workmen. Thereafter, on 07.03.2002, the Additional Commissioner issued a notice and fixed the date as 18.03.2002 for considering the review of the order. This notice was challenged on the ground that the order of the Commissioner of Labour could not have been reviewed by the Additional Commissioner, who is not the specified authority in terms of law. Though the learned Single Judge accepted it, he did not quash the order, but asked the Commissioner of Labour to take up the matter. Without going further into the controversy, we deem it appropriate and in the interest of justice, to set aside and quash the notice issued by Additional Commissioner and give liberty to the Commissioner of Labour to issue fresh notice, if he also thinks that the order dated 07.02.2002 needs to be reviewed. The time spent in these proceedings including the Writ Petition and the Writ Appeal shall not be taken into consideration for the purpose of entertaining the review. Appeal is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (Bilal Nazki, J) 7th July, 2004. _____________ (P.S.Narayana,J) ajr.
