Versus

Employee State Insurance Corporation Employees Union Calcutta & Anr.

Mr. Bodhisatta Biswas.

... for the petitioners Mr. Ajay Dasgupta, Mr. Tapan Bhanja.

... for the Union of India

1. The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that a transfer policy has been stayed by the Tribunal by an order dated 28.02.2025 and the miscellaneous application filed for vacating the stay has also been disposed of by the impugned order. It is submitted that continuance of the stay order is coming in the way of administration and, therefore, the matter is required to be considered expeditiously.

2. Having made such submissions, it is also submitted by the learned advocate for the petitioner that one M.A. has been filed bearing no. M.A. 325 of 2025 wherein the petitioners have raised an issue regarding the maintainability of the original application bearing O.A. No. 292 of 2025 at the instance of the applicants. He

submits that if the said issue is decided, then the petitioners' grievance is likely to be redressed.

3. We have made a specific query as to whether the pleadings have been exchanged between the parties to which he replies that yes, a reply has been filed to the M.A. 325 of 2025 and rejoinder thereto has also been filed and, therefore, the matter is now ready for consideration on merits. He submits that the next date fixed on the matter is on 17.07.2025.

4. In view of such situation when the matter is to be taken up within a week, we find no reason to interfere with the impugned order disposing of the petitioners' earlier M.A. bearing no. M.A. 263 of 2025.

5. We only record that it is expected that the Tribunal shall proceed to consider M.A.

of expeditiously without any unnecessary delay or undue adjournments.

6. The writ petition being W.P.S.T. 145 of 2025 is disposed of.
