Today, when the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned counsel appearing for both sides submitted that during the pendency of this writ petition, WP.No.21106 of 2014 along with WP.Nos.21107 & 21108 of 2014 filed by the Management of the respondent Corporation seeking to quash the order rejecting the approval, came to be disposed of by this Court by order dated 08.01.2016, the operative portion of which reads as under:- https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
"Considering the overall circumstances of the case and the fact that the workmen were out of employment from the year 2010 onwards and one of the employees, viz., R.Sugumaran, did not even have the benefit of wages under section 17-B of the Act, these are the fit cases where the petitioner / Management should consider imposing any other lesser punishment other than dismissal and such re-consideration shall be made by the petitioner / Management within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order."
Thus, according to the learned counsel, in view of the subsequent development, nothing survives for further adjudication in this writ petition.
3.In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. Consequently connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs.
