Dated, the 3 July, 2008.
Inter alia, the contention of the counsel for the appellant
is that from the order passed by the Workmen Compensation
Commissioner an appeal lay under section 30 of the Workmen
Compensation Act. Bypassing the statutory remedy of appeal, writ
petition was filed before the Single Judge and the Single Judge
interfered with the order of the Workmen Compensation
Commissioner. Learned counsel would submit, for these reasons the
order of the Single Judge is bad in law.
Let notice be issued to respondents no. 1 and 2 to show
cause why the Letters Patent Appeal be not admitted and, if possible,
disposed of at the admission stage.
Notice is made returnable on 8.9.2008.
Requisite notice, process fee and registered cover with
A/D shall be supplied within one week from today, failing which the
-2-
memorandum of appeal shall stand rejected without further reference
to a Bench.
