MEMO FILED BY THE PETITIONER 1.The above writ petitions have been filed against the Award of the Labour Court, Cuddalore, ordering reinstatement of the respondents with continuity of service and 25% back-wages.
2.All the respondents were Contract Labourers working for the petitioner Organisation. In terms of the Scheme of absorption in the petitioner Organisation, all of them had been absorbed in the service of the petitioner in the year 2016. These respondents had agreed to their absorption from the year 2016, and have given an undertaking not to press for back-wages or any other benefits for the period prior to 2016, namely the period were engaged as Contract Labourers.
3.This Hon'ble Court may, therefore, be pleased to take on record the above facts and dispose of the above writ petition, setting aside the award of the Labour Court, holding that the respondents are entitled to benefits only from 2016, ie., from the date from which they were absorbed into the services of this petitioner and pass such or
further orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit in the interest of justice."
2.In view of the memo filed by the petitioner, no further adjudication needs to be undertaken with reference to the grounds raised. Thus, these Writ Petitions stand disposed of. No cost.
