K. Ramaswamy, J.1. The petitioner sought for permission to lay-off from the first respondent. The first respondent, in his order, dated 23rd August, 1982, refused to grant permission to lay-off the workmen with retrospective effect as requested for. As against this order, the writ petition has been filed.2. The first contention raised by learned counsel for the petitioner is that an appeal is pending in the Supreme Court, and, therefore, the matter may be kept pending. The petitioner is unable to place before me as to under what circumstances the appeal was filed in the Supreme Court and what is the point involved in that case. In these circumstances, I cannot issue a direction to keep the matter in abeyance pending decision of the Supreme Court. As regards the merits, admittedly the petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of the first respondent under Sub-section (4) of Section 25-M of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short 'the Act'), which reads thus:'Where an application for ...
