It is submitted by both the counsel that against the awards passed by the Labour Court, the Writ Petitions filed, were dismissed by this Court. However, challenging the same, the Writ Appeals in W.A.Nos.892 to 897 of 2016, have been filed in which, notices have been ordered to the respective Workman. The subject matter of these Writ Petitions is in respect of the computation followed for the awards passed, which are admittedly pending consideration before the Hon'ble Division Bench. 4. Therefore, in the light of the above said facts, these two Writ Petitions stand ordered, holding that the respondents Workmen are liable to receive a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- out of Rs.2,01,200/-, by way of an interim arrangement, subject to further orders to be passed in the pending Writ Appeals, leaving open all the issues to be adjudicated by the respective parties. 5.
