JUDGMENT : P. B. BAJANTHRI, J. Re: I.A. No. 01 of 2022 The appellants – State has assailed the order of learned Single Judge dated 21.01.2021 passed in CWJC No. 8973 of 2019. There is a delay of about 305/268 days insofar as filing LPA. The learned Single Judge has quashed the order of termination of the contesting respondents on the sole ground that before termination they have not been heard in the matter.

Accordingly, I.A No. 01 of 2022 is allowed. 4. With the consent of respective parties, the present LPA is taken up for final disposal. 5.
