[Order of the Court was made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.] The present Miscellaneous Petitions have been instituted to condone the delay in filing these intra-court appeals.

2. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the appellant would mainly contend that there was no intentional delay, but, due to subsequent developments that occurred, the delay happened in filing the appeals.

3. The learned counsel for the workmen would oppose by stating that the Management is attempting to prolong the issue and the present Writ Appeals is a sheer abuse of process of law. Therefore, the petitions to condone the delay per se deserves to be rejected.

4. This Court has gone through the developments as contended by the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner. It appears that after disposal of the Writ Petitions on 13.08.2024, which is the subject matter of present intra-Court appeals, the petitioner Management addressed a letter to the Deputy Commissioner of Labour

Conciliation - I on 18.02.2025. Thereafter, reminder letters were also sent on different dates. Finally an advice was rendered and which was not fructified. Thus, another set of Writ Petitions came to be instituted and Writ Appeals were also filed. Subsequently, the Writ Petitions were disposed of by the learned Single Judge on 14.11.2025.

5. A perusal of the said order would show that filing of the present Writ Appeals have been referred in para 14 and in para 17, developments occurred in between also narrated. In view of the said factum, this Court is of the considered view that there was no wilful delay on the part of petitioner in preferring the present Writ Appeald. However, in respect of the contention raised on behalf of the workmen on merits, it is to be considered in the intra-Court appeals.

6. In view of the above factum, these petitions are ordered and the delay stands condoned.
