(Arising out of SLP (C) No.11045 of 1993)
(Arising out of SLP (C) No.11045 of 1993)
Practice and Procedure
Service matter – Adjudication pending – High Court directed payment of wages as if the respondent is a regular employee – Held that since the issue was pending adjudication, the High Court was not justified in giving such direction – Appeal allowed.
1. Leave granted.
2. Heard the counsel on both sides. The High Court pre-judged the issue by directing to pay as if the respondent is a regular employee. Since this issue is pending adjudication, the High Court is not justified in giving such direction.
3. Accordingly, the direction is set aside. Since the matter is pending in the High Court, we request it to dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible preferably within six months, giving preference to the writ petition.
4. The appeal is accordingly allowed.
