Feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied with the common oral judgment dated 21/09/2020 rendered by the learned Single Judge in SCA No.8890 of 2018 with SCA No.13431 of 2018, the appellants–Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation–original respondents No.2 and 3 have preferred the captioned appeals under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent.

2. Since the common issue of facts and law are involved in the appeals, both the appeals are being heard and decided together by this common judgment.

3. We have heard learned Advocate Mr.Mayur Dhotre for Gupta Law Associates, for the appellants and learned Advocate Mr.Samir Afzal Khan, learned Advocate for the private respondents.

4. The controversy raised in the writ petition was of withholding of retiral dues of the private respondents viz., contributory provident fund, group savings link insurance, gratuity, etc., on the ground that the private respondents, after retirement are in illegal occupation of the residential quarters allotted to them during their service tenure. The private respondents in both the petitions preferred by them have prayed for direction to quash and set aside the order dated 30/04/2018 and 31/07/2018 respec
