THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP SINGH YERUR - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010312852020 NC: 2026:KHC:36456 MFA No. 4619 of 2020 ORAL JUDGMENT Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the respondents. 2. Learned counsel for the respondents files a memo along with the judgment passed by this Hon'ble Court in Writ Appeal No.399/2019 (L-TER) whereby M/s. Bosch Limited had preferred an appeal against the Labour through Karnataka Rakshak and General Workers Union, represented by its President. Learned counsel for the appellant herein had in fact appeared on behalf of the respondent therein. The said Writ Appeal came to be dismissed confirming the order of the learned Single Judge, whereby the learned Single Judge had upheld the order of the Labour Court with regard to the appellant herein being the employee of M/s. Bosch Limited, who was the appellant in the Writ Appeal. Therefore, learned counsel for the respondents submits that the communication which is questioned in the original suit proceedings filed by the appellant herein also would not survive for consideration anymore as the Writ Appeal Court has given a verdict in favour of the Labour Union confirming the orders passed by the - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010312852020 NC: 2026:KHC:36456 MFA No. 4619 of 2020 learned Single Judge with regard to the appellant herein being the employee of M/s. Bosch Limited and not the respondents herein. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents further contends that the communication which is questioned in the original suit proceedings itself would not be acted upon. Her submission is placed on record. Therefore, the impugned order that is questioned herein pertains to an application that was filed by the appellant/plaintiff to not act on the basis of notice issued dated 12.05.2020. In my humble opinion the said application would not now survive for consideration anymore in view of the submission made by the learned counsel for the respondents and that the very communication issued dated 12.05.2020 would not be acted upon as there is a final verdict delivered in the Writ Appeal which goes in favour of the appellant/plaintiff and though the said Company-M/s. Bosch Limited has challenged the Writ Appeal before the Hon'ble Apex Court, no interim order is granted. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010312852020 NC: 2026:KHC:36456 MFA No. 4619 of 2020 4. Placing the submission of learned counsel for the respondents, which is not disputed by the learned counsel for the appellant, this appeal is disposed off. All contentions are kept open, to be decided in the original suit, if so required. Sd/- (PRADEEP SINGH YERUR) JUDGE SMJ List No.: 1 Sl No.: 20
