With the consent of the learned counsel appearing on either side, this Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 3. The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner was appointed as a Senior Application Chemist with the 1st respondent on 22.02.2007 and was subsequently promoted to the post of Product Manager. His services were terminated vide order dated 24.12.2018 on allegations of repetitive misbehaviour, without the issuance of any charge memo or show-cause notice, https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 25390 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 and without conducting a domestic enquiry. Aggrieved by the said termination, the petitioner preferred an appeal under Section 41(2) of the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act, 1947, before the 2nd respondent Appellate Authority in Appeal No. TNSE-I/05/2020. By an order dated 23.04.2025, the Appellate Authority set aside the termination order and directed the 1st respondent to reinstate the petitioner with full back wages, continuity of service, and all consequential benefits. The case of the petitioner is that despite the clear mandate of the Appellate Authority, and notwithstanding personal representations, registered communications, and a formal legal notice, the 1st respondent has failed to comply with the order or reinstate him. Hence, the petitioner has approached this Court by way of the present Writ Petition. 4. Heard the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials available on record. 5. Since the petitioner has already obtained a favourable order from the Appellate Authority, it is for the petitioner to approach the second respondent to enforce the order and seek the relief of employment. If the petitioner approaches the second respondent, the said authority shall consider the request and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law to ensure compliance https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 25390 of 2026 __________ Page4 of 4 K.SURENDER J.
