Dave, CJ) Admit. At the request of the learned Advocates, the appeal is finally heard today. The appellant, who was not a party to the writ petition, has been aggrieved by the order dated 14-7-2008 passed in W.P.No. 13806 of 2008 whereby the learned Single Judge had directed the Commissioner of Labour, Hyderabad to consider the representations dated 8-4-2008 and 10-4-2008 made by the 1st respondent whereby the Commissioner of Labour was requested to conduct fresh election for the post of President of VST Workers Union. The present appellant who had been permitted to challenge the order passed in the writ petition is aggrieved by the aforestated election for the reason that the appellant herein was not heard. According to the learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the appellant, the Union ought to have been heard before giving the above direction to anybody, because, according to him, it is not necessary to conduct any election at this stage. Be that as it may, in our opinion, the Union should have been heard by the learned Single Judge. In the circumstances, we order impleadment of the present appellant in W.P.No. 13806 of 2008 as respondent No.3 and remit the matter to the learned Single Judge so that the matter can be decided afresh after hearing all the concerned parties. Learned Advocate appearing for the appellant has assured this Court that he will ﬁle his counter-aﬃdavit as soon as possible; he will extend his cooperation to the learned Single Judge for deciding the matter and he will not ask for time without any justifiable reason. The appeal stands disposed of as allowed. The order dated 14-7-2008 passed in W.P.No. 13806 of 2008 is quashed and set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. The Registry is directed to notify the writ petition on 16-9-2008. ______________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ __________________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 5th September, 2008. GRR
