ORDER 1. Delay condoned. 2. Leave granted. 3. With the consent of both the parties, these appeals are heard. 4. It is not in dispute that the matter, pursuant to the impugned order passed by the High Court in Misc. Single No. 22049 of 2016 out of which these special leave petitions arise, has been remanded to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Lucknow (for short "the CGIT") for deciding the appeal filed by respondent No.1 questioning the legality and correctness of the order dated 24.01.2014 passed by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-II, Lucknow. 5. It is stated at the Bar that the Appellate Authority (CGIT) is now seized of the appeal after remand and hearing the same on merits in accordance with law. 6. We find in the impugned order that the High Court while remanding the case to the CGIT seems to have set aside the order dated 24.01.2014 which is now a subject matter of the appeal after remand. This is an error apparent on the face of the record because once the High Court remand the case to the Appellate Authority for deciding the legality and correctness of the order dated 24.01.2014, the High Court should not have set aside the order in its writ jurisdiction. As a result of setting aside of the order dated 24.01.2014 by the High court, the very purpose of the remand and direction to the Appellate Court to decide the appeal is frustrated. 7. Accordingly, in the light of the aforesaid discussion, we allow the appeals in part and set aside the order passed by the High Court insofar as it set aside the order dated 24.01.2014. 8. We now direct the Appellate Court to decide the appeal on merits without being influenced by observations made by the High Court in the impugned order preferably within a period of one month from today. 9. Needless to say, all objections on facts and law are open for being adjudicated in support of the appeal by the respective parties.
