As far as Petitioners are concerned, they have approached the Industrial Court. The Industrial Court had passed an order reinstating them but has not granted permanency. In that event, the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Shaikh Miya S/o. Shaikh Chand etc. vs. State of Maharashtra dated 7th September, 2022 in Civil Appeal No. 65316533 of 2022 will be relevant. In that judgment, it is observed that the persons who have been absorbed over a period of time post 31st March, 1997, for pensionable services, reckoning date will be 31st March, 1997 and such of the persons who have rendered pensionable services will be entitled to that benefit. In view of that, the petitioners shall be considered as permanent from 31 st March, 1997 and the pensionable benefits shall be granted to them considering their services with effect from 31st March, 1997, as expeditiously as possible.

With this direction, the Writ Petition alongwith Interim Applications is disposed of.
