On behalf of the petitioner it is stated that the order impugned has been passed in proceedings initiated under Section 6- H(1) of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for computation of money in terms of the Award passed in Adjudication Case No. 61 of 1983. He points out that the Award was subjected to challenge by means of Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 17353 of 1993 which has since been allowed by this Court vide judgment and decree dated 25.05.2006. He therefore, submitted that consequential proceedings under Section 6- H(1) would fall automatically.
Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and having examined the records of the present writ petition, I am of the considered opinion that the contention raised on behalf of the petitioner has force. Once the Award itself has been set aside by this Court, all consequential action cannot be legally sustained, it has to be brought to rest. The order dated 29.04.1994 is hereby quashed.
The writ petition is allowed.
