Heard both sides. It is to be noted that the claim of the petitioners in this writ petition is based on the order of the Labour Court dated 25-03-1997 in M.P.No.62 of 1994 whereunder the Labour Court recorded a finding that the petitioners have been discharging the duties of the Flower Tiers and the respondent was directed to pay the difference of wages to the petitioners from 01-04-1984. The said order in M.P.No.62 of 1994 is the subject matter of W.P.No.17802 of 1997 filed by the T.T.D. / respondent herein. After hearing both sides, W.P.No.17802 of 1997 has been allowed by this Court to-day by a separate order and the order in M.P.No.62 of 1994 has been set aside leaving it open to the respondents therein i.e., the petitioners in this writ petition to work out the appropriate remedy as available under law. Since the order in M.P.No.62 of 1994 which forms basis for the relief sought in this writ petition is set aside, nothing remains for adjudication on merits and the writ petition is rendered infructuous.
