JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. After hearing both sides, we passed an interim order in this case on 25.6.2008. We feel that the writ petition can be disposed of maintaining that interim order. But, if the respondents 6 to 10 have any claim for employment under the petitioner, they may move the statutory authorities under the Headload Workers Act and establish their rights. If any statutory authority upholds the right of the members of the unions represented by respondents 6 to 10, to get employment under the petitioner, the interim order granted by this Court will be subject to such orders. WPC 18670/08 2 The Writ Petition is disposed of, maintaining the above said interim order. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE. Nm/
