The question whether there subsists relationship of employee with employer and between the petitioner and the respondent no.1, needs to be decided.

The Labour Court has not refused to decide the question as to whether their subsists relationship of employer and employee. The Court has merely directed that the said issue will be decided while deciding the matter on merits. Hence no fault can be found with the order impugned. The petitions are dismissed.
