The interim order under challenge in Writ Appeal is the one issued by the learned Single Judge prohibiting respondents from replacement of the appellants by temporary hands. Learned counsel for the appellants apprehended that temporary hands referred to in the interim order will not cover persons appointed through the Employment Exchange. We, therefore, dispose of the Writ Appeal by modifying the interim order issued by the learned Single Judge by directing the respondents not to replace the appellants by temporary hands or by persons recruited through the Employment Exchange. There will also be a direction to the learned Single Judge to dispose of the case, at the earliest, in any case, within a period of one month from today. Writ Appeal is disposed of as above.
