                                                      JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was delivered by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.)

This writ appeal is preferred by the appellants aggrieved over of

the order of the learned single Judge, by which, certain directions have

been issued to regularize the period of absence of the respondent on the

premise that the review application filed by him before the Tribunal was

allowed and there was a stay during the interregnum, which entitled him

to work, but was not allowed to do so.

2. Though the learned Special Government Pleader submitted that

this is an unauthorized absence, the fact remains that the review

application filed was allowed and notwithstanding the stay, the writ

petitioner was not allowed to work. Therefore, the same would not be

attributed to him.

3. Accordingly, we do not find any reason to interfere with the

order of the learned single Judge. Since the respondent has been

approached this Court filing one writ after another, we direct the

appellants to give effect to the order of the learned single Judge within

eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.

Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
