JUDGMENT The uncontroverted averment in paragraph 7 of the counter-affidavit is that the employer company is declared as a sick unit by the Board for Industrial and Financial Re- construction, in which event, having regard to Section 22(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985, unless there is any constitutional issue, I do not deem it appropriate to consider a solitary case relating to service benefits. This writ petition is hence closed, without prejudice to the contentions. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/- THOTTATHIL B.
