Learned counsel for the respondents accept notice on behalf of the respective respondents.

W.P.(C) 2129/2019 shall be treated as the lead matter. Counter affidavits be filed within six weeks. Rejoinder, if any, be filed within four weeks thereafter.

The impugned order was passed by the Tribunal on 21.02.2019. We are informed that during the pendency of the Original Application, the services of the petitioners were protected by the Central Administrative Tribunal. In case, after the passing of the impugned order by the Tribunal on 21.02.2019, the petitioners have been disengaged and they have not been permitted to work in their respective capacities, there shall be no interim protection since by an interim order we cannot direct reinstatement of the services of the petitioners. However, in case their services have been continued even after 21.02.2019 till today, their services may not be discontinued till further orders in the present petitions. We, however, make it clear that the petitioners shall not claim any equity on account of this order or derive any benefit of the service they render henceforth till the disposal of the writ petition. However, in case they continue to discharge the responsibilities and duties in terms of this order, they shall be entitled for the pay and allowances. List on 14.10.2019.
