Decision on this case CHAIRMAN, ALL INDIA RAILWAY REC. BOARD & ANR VERSUS K. SHYAM KUMAR & ORS [2010 (5) TMI 861 - SUPREME COURT] was followed. The Court opined that since several writ petitions are pending for consideration before the High Court, so the Court did not deem fit to pronounce any judgement at this stage upon the various contentions raised by learned senior counsel on either side on merits of the case, especially w.r.t. the issuance of the suspension orders and the show cause notices. It was also noticed that the Division Bench of the High Court has issued some equitable directions taking into consideration the interest of the workers and also for honouring some statutory obligations of the petitioner firm. We, therefore, find no reason to interfere with the impugned judgment and the special leave petitions filed against those orders stand dismissed.
