JUDGMENT

¶55

Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.

¶56

It is not disputed before us; rather it is admitted; that the issues raised by KSRTC in these two writ appeals are covered against it by the ratio of the judgment rendered by the Larger Bench of this Court in Francis v. Kerala State Road Transport Corporation [2015 (1) KLT 1051 (LB)]. We follow that precedent and dismiss these writ appeals, however, recording the submission on behalf of KSRTC that the decision in Francis (supra) is subjected to a Special Leave Petition and is pending consideration before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
