JUDGMENT

As both these appeals arise out of the same impugned judgment, rendered in the instant Writ Petition (Civil), W.P(C) No.20667/2020, these cases are disposed of on the basis of this common judgment. 2. The appellants in W.A No.899/2022 are respondents 1 & 2 in the W.P(C) and R1 in the W.A is the writ petitioner and official respondents 2 to 6 in the W.A are official respondents 3 to 7 in the W.P(C), whereas W.A No.1654/2021 has been filed by a third party to the writ proceedings, who has filed the said appeal after securing third party leave. The said third party appellant in W.A No.1654/2021 claims to be a Workers' Union, affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), which is the cause of the headload workers concerned, like the appellants in W.A No.899/2022.
