JUDGMENT :

A. Pasayat, J. - National Insurance Company Limited has filed this application highlighting certain difficulties encountered by parties appearing before various authorities under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 (in short, the 'Act'). It is stated that in respect of identical cases under the Act, arrangement can be made to take up connected matters, otherwise possibility of dismetrically opposite views being expressed cannot be ruled out. It is indicated that there is no system of maintaining a diary in the respective offices of the authorities and no cause lists are placed in order to enable a party to know about the adjourned dates. There is no uniformity observed by authorities in directing deposits out of awarded amounts, and uniform pattern of deposit would be in the interest of all concerned.

2. By way of illustration, reference is made to a particular case, i.e. W.C. Case No. 522-D of 1993 which according to the petitioner has links with some other cases, namely, W.C. Case No. 523-D to 525-D of 1993. While case of the petitioner is before one authority, others are before another authority. The prayer is to take up all the cases together by one authority.
