The Management in both the appeals is one and the same. The 1st respondent in both the appeals are the workmen under the Management in question. On an application by the workmen, the Tribunal has allowed the same ordering their reinstatement with all backwages. Aggrieved by the same, the Management has preferred the present writ petitions. While admitting the writ petitions, the order of the Tribunal was stayed. On that, the Workmen have moved the present vacate stay petitions seeking to vacate the interim stay and while disposing of the same, the learned single Judge has made it clear that the Management shall deposit all the arrears of wages under section 17 B of the Industrial Disputes Act and shall also continue to pay the same regularly every month. Aggrieved by the same, the Management has preferred the present writ appeals. Having heard the learned counsel on both sides at length and having gone through the entire material placed before the Courts, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, we feel it appropriate to grant interim stay of payment of arrears subject to the condition of reinstating the respondents-workmen. Accordingly, both the writ appeals are disposed of. No costs. Meanwhile, the Registry is directed to post both the writ petitions for final hearing after Summer Vacation, 2005.
