3. Already, the orders have been passed by the Writ Court in those writ petitions, against which, the present appellant/employer had already moved a batch of writ appeals in W.A.No.3093 to 3096 of 2025, which came to be decided by a Division Bench of this Court dated 17.11.2025 (where one of us is a party) and those writ appeals had been dismissed by confirming the order passed by the Writ Court.
