Records indicated that Respondents were directed to file reply and time was granted to them on 18.6.2012 and again on 6.7.2012, inspite of the same, no reply is forthcoming from the respondents.
Keeping in view the aforesaid, operation of the order Annexure-P5 dated 23.5.2012 shall remain stayed and petitioner permitted to work.
