2.The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the writ petitioner made a submission that even the industrial dispute raised was pending before the 2^nd respondent, the matter between the management and the workmen were settled and in this regard, a memorandum of settlement on wages and other matters were signed by the respective parties on 9^th January 2014 itself. However, the fact regarding the settlement had not been brought to the knowledge of the 2^nd respondent. Thus, an award was passed.

Now, it is agreed that the settlement had been arrived between the parties and no further adjudication needs to be entertained in respect of the merits of the matter. However, the 5^th respondent is directed not to publish the award in view of the memorandum of settlement ended between the parties on 9^th January 2014.

¶15

4.With these directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. kak Sd/Assistant Registrar(CS IX)
