Issues involved: Appeal against order dismissing Writ Petition for direction to absorb appellants as conductors due to alleged arbitrary actions by Corporation.
Summary: The appeal was filed against the order of the Division Bench of the Allahabad High Court upholding the dismissal of the Writ Petition by a Single Judge. The appellants sought absorption as conductors, claiming they were on a select list prepared by a Selection Committee. The Division Bench initially directed the Corporation to absorb the petitioners within three months, which was complied with. However, the Writ Petition was later dismissed as not pressed, leading to the appellants being issued a notice by the Corporation. The appeal to the Supreme Court contended that the dismissal was due to a misunderstanding and sought justice. Upon hearing the parties, the Supreme Court decided not to delve into the merits of the case but concluded that the matter should be sent back to the High Court for proper adjudication. The Court noted that the situation arose from an interim order issued by the High Court, which directed the Corporation to absorb the appellants without a full adjudication on the merits. The Court clarified that such a direction should have been part of a final decision after considering all aspects. To rectify the situation and ensure justice, the Supreme Court set aside the previous orders and remitted the case back to the High Court for a proper decision on the merits. It was also specified that the appellants should not work until the matter is finally resolved by the High Court. In conclusion, the appeal was disposed of with each party bearing their own costs, and the matter was to be reconsidered by the High Court for a fair and just determination.
