2. When the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing, Mr. A.

Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, since the respondents have not passed any award, the question of referring the matter under section 8 of the Act does not arise. In such view of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
