Union of India & Ors.

Mr. Anant Kumar Shaw Mr. Mainak Ganguly ...for the petitioners Mr. Debanik Banerjee Mr. Aniruddha Ganguly ....for the respondent nos. 3 & 4 Matter relates to release of arrear dues in favour of the writ petitioners and being aggrieved of non-payment of the same the present writ petition was filed. The matter was heard previously on 27th June, 2022 when on behalf of Braithwaite & Company Limited being the answering respondent it was submitted the admissible arrear dues were paid to the petitioners. Mr. Anant Kumar Shaw, learned advocate representing the petitioners was directed to obtain instruction regarding such payment made by the respondents.

Today matter has come up in the list for further consideration in order to ascertain whether payment has been made to the petitioners.

Petitioners and the respondent no. 3 are represented by the learned advocates.

On hearing the learned advocate representing the respondent authorities it appears that admissible dues

towards arrear claim of the petitioners have already been released.

However, Mr.

Shaw, learned advocate representing the petitioners has made grievance with regard to the calculation of admissible arrear dues which has been released in favour of the petitioners and he has disputed the same.

Be that as it may, since admissible arrear dues have already been released in favour of the petitioners nothing remains to be decided in this writ petition except granting liberty to the petitioners to make comprehensive representation before the concerned respondent authorities ventilating their grievances with regard to calculation of arrear dues. If such representation is made within a period of fortnight from this date the concerned authority of respondent no. 3 is directed to decide the same in accordance with law within a period of 4 (four) weeks thereafter after granting opportunity of hearing to the petitioners.

At the time of hearing the writ petitioners shall be at liberty to rely upon all the necessary documents in support of their claim.

With the above observation and direction the writ petition stands disposed of.

However, there shall be no order as to costs.

Urgent photostat certified copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties, upon usual undertakings.
