It seeks certain reliefs for the employees of the first respondent. Similar issues were raised by Sri.R.Mohandas, the then Secretary of another trade union before the Arbitration Court, since this Court had relegated the said party for arbitration. The learned Arbitrator passed an interim order in that proceedings, which is Exhibit P6 produced along with I.A.No.11420/2008. That order was challenged by the employer, the first respondent herein, by filing W.P.(C) No.27031 of 2008 on 5-9-2008. The employer has relegated to the arbitration court with a direction to raise objections to the interim order and for consideration of that issue. The petitioner in this writ petition can, therefore, join those proceedings and take the benefit of the decision of the arbitration court. This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
