Reddy states that a memo has been filed. The memo can be put on record, and the petition may be dismissed as infructuous. Submission is noted. Memo is placed on record. 4. It is sufficient to mention that the court issued an order on 14.07.2023. The second respondent requested permission to take legal action against the management for not complying with this order. Accordingly, the first respondent passed an order on 07.10.2024. It is undisputed that the management challenged the Labor Court's order in W.P.No.18177/2023. In that petition, the management agreed to pay Rs.3,000/- per month as ordered by the Labor Court. The Court disposed of the petition on 11.08.2026. It is undisputed that the Management has agreed to pay Rs.3,000/- per month as interim relief to the Union members. Therefore, the order by the first respondent allowing prosecution cannot stand and is set aside. Additionally, since the Labor Court issued an interim order, the second respondent - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010608062024 NC: 2026:KHC:42434 WP No. 30670 of 2024 lacked authority to seek permission to prosecute the Management. 5.
