2/ 14/03/2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner finds it

difficult to convince the Court that in the nature of

the relief claimed against a ‘lay off’ which pertains to

the domain of the Industrial Disputes Act and that in

view of a remedy available under that Act the writ

application is maintainable. He, therefore, prays for

leave to withdraw the application to pursue remedies

under the Industrial Disputes Act as the petitioner

may be advised.

2

The application is dismissed as withdrawn

with the liberty as aforesaid.
