Nagarjuna Reddy, J) This writ appeal arises out of order dated 23-10-2009 in WPMP No. 22375 of 2009 in Writ Petition No. 20695 of 2008, whereby the learned single Judge while modifying order dated 17-07-2009, directed that the respondent be subjected to examination by a Forensic Expert. At the hearing, Sri C.V. Mohan Reddy, learned Senior Counsel representing the appellants submitted that under the settlement entered into between the appellants and the workers’ union of which the respondent is a member, whenever a dispute regarding the age of a workman is raised, the same shall be referred to the Apex Medical Board constituted by the appellants and that the learned single Judge committed an error in directing the respondent to be referred to the Forensic Expert. Sri A.K. Jayaprakash Rao, learned counsel for the respondent fairly conceded that under the settlement, the dispute regarding the age of a workman shall be referred to the Apex Medical Board. In view of the same, the order under appeal is modified. The appellants are directed to refer the respondent for examination by the Apex Medical Board instead of by a Forensic Expert. With the above modification, the appeal is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the appeal, WAMP No. 2825 of 2009, filed by the appellant for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ANIL R.
