Counsel for the respondents prays for disposal of petitions in the light of the judgment passed in M.P No.3052/2021 (Government Engineering College vs. Shri Balram) by co-ordinate Bench in the case of similarly situated employee Shri Balram whereby the similar award as passed by the labour Court in the present case was challenged by the same petitioner but

3 MP-3049-2021 the award was upheld and the Miscellaneous Petition was dismissed.

The petitioner filed SLP (civil) Diary No.32375/2024. The said SLP has been dismissed on 13/12/2024. The Apex Court held that they are not inclined to interfere in the order passed by the High Court. Thus, the order passed by this Court has been affirmed by the Supreme Court.

Counsel for the petitioner also could not distinguish the case of the respondents with the case of the similarly situated employee Shri Balram.

In view of the aforesaid, it is directed that the judgment of the similarly situated employee Shri Balram shall apply mutatis mutandis in the present petitions.

With the aforesaid, present petitions are disposed off. All pending I.As shall also stand disposed off.
