For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vijayakumar For Respondents : Mr.G.Baskaran Central Government Standing Counsel for R1 to R3 Mr.V.Ajay Khose for R4 to 192 C O M M O N O R D E R These writ petitions are filed against the order passed by the 1st respondent namely Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner, transferring the case from the file of the 2nd respondent to the file of the 3rd respondent.
2. Though it is contended by the learned counsel for the contesting respondents/workmen that they had some grievance against the previous officer who held the position of the 2nd respondent office and sought for transferring of the case from his file to the 3rd respondent, in view of the present position that a new officer has come at the 2nd respondent office, these contesting respondents/workmen are not having any objection for the 2nd respondent himself in hearing the matter. Learned counsel appearing for the official respondents has also filed a memo that the previous officer in the office of the 2nd respondent retired on 23.12.2016. He further submitted that the now, the present 2nd respondent himself can hear the matter. 3.In view of the above stated facts and circumstances, both these writ petitions are disposed of by setting aside the order passed by the 1st respondent in transferring the case from the file of the 2nd respondent to the 3rd respondent. Consequently, the 2nd respondent shall hear the subject matter case and pass orders on the same on merits and in accordance
with law after hearing all the parties. The 2nd respondent shall pass such order within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
