ORDER (ORAL)
% 23.01.2025
C. HARI SHANKAR, J.
1. After these matters were heard for some time, Mr. Amit Anand,
learned Counsel for the petitioners, submits that the petitioners are, in
view of the impugned judgment of the Tribunal, continuing to renew
the respondents' contract for five years at a time and will continue to
do so, subject, however, to the outcome of Civil Appeal 16354/2019
pending in the Supreme Court against the judgment dated 1 August
2018 passed by the High Court of Kerala at Ernakulam in OP (CAT)
4350/20131.
2. In that view of the matter, he does not press these petitions but
prays that the implementation of the impugned order be made subject
to the outcome of the litigation pending before the Supreme Court.
3. We clarify that, therefore, while we are upholding the impugned
order, and recording the statement of Mr. Anand that the renewal for
the respondents would continue to be five years at the time, if the
respondents are aggrieved by any action taken by the petitioners
consequent to the disposal of the Civil Appeal 16354/2019 pending
before the Supreme Court against a judgment of the High Court of
Kerala at Ernakulam, their rights to challenge the said decision in
accordance with law shall remain reserved.
1 UOI v Ajeesh A.
4. With the aforesaid observations, these writ petitions are
disposed of.
