APPELLANTS VERSUS Sharad Shakindar Dinkar & another .. RESPONDENTS Mr. B.B. Yenge, advocate for the appellants. Mr. P.V. Barde, advocate for respondent no. 1. ===== CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE & R.M. BORDE, JJ. DATE : 10 th JANUARY, 2011 PER COURT : 1 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2 This appeal is arising from an interlocutory order passed by the Industrial Court, Ahmednagar. The Industrial Court vide order dated 18-12-2009 allowed the application at exh. U-2 thereby directing the appellants not to dis-continue the services of the respondent - complainant lpa341.10 2 without following the due process of law. That order was challenged by the respondent - complainant in Writ Petition No. 929/2010 seeking direction to the appellants to pay minimum wages as per the Minimum Wages Act. This court disposed of the writ petition and directed the appellants to pay minimum wages to the petitioner effective from the date of the order passed by the Industrial Court dated 18-12-2009, within a period of six weeks from the date of the order i.e. 30-9-2010. This order is under challenge in the instant appeal. 3 In our opinion, no case whatsoever is made out warranting interference in the order passed by the learned Single Judge. There is no dispute that the respondent - complainant is presently working. Keeping that in view, this Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed. It is however made clear that the appellants shall make payment of minimum wages to the respondent - complainant without prejudice to their rights and contentions in the original complaint so also in the writ petition being Writ Petition No. 11151/2010 filed by them in this court challenging the order dated 18-12-2009 passed by the Industrial Court on the application at Exh. U-2. Letters Patent Appeal is disposed of. lpa341.10 3 4 Interim relief, if any, stands vacated. 5 Pending civil application, if any, does not survive and stands disposed of. ( R. M. BORDE ) ( D.B.
