JUDGMENT

These two writ petitions are filed with a prayer to extent the interim order passed by the STAT, stating that, the STAT is not functioning because of the Covid pandemic. This Court passed an interim order infavour of the petitioner in these writ petitions. This Court ordered status quo. Now it is informed that, the tribunal is functioning. Therefore, without going to the merit of the case, I think, the interim order can be extended for a further period of two weeks. In the meanwhile, the petitioner can approach the tribunal concerned and get appropriate orders. Therefore, these writ petitions are disposed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the tribunal for further directions. The interim order of status quo already granted by this Court is stand extended for a further period of two weeks.
