----------- Learned counsel for the petitioner finds it difficult to convince the Court that in the nature of
the relief claimed against a ‘lay off’ which pertains to
the domain of the Industrial Disputes Act and that in
view of a remedy available under that Act the writ application is maintainable. He, therefore, prays for leave to withdraw the application to pursue remedies under the Industrial Disputes Act as the petitioner may be advised.

with the liberty as aforesaid.
