THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE S.VAIDYANATHAN W.P.No.1249 of 2020 and. Accordingly, the respondents are directed to pass favourable orders on the representation of the petitioners, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, failing which, it is open to the petitioners, apart from approaching this Court (dehors the orders of this Court), to initiate criminal proceedings against the officers concerned, who are liable to implement the orders of the Authority in terms of provisions of Tamil Nadu Industrial Establishment (Conferment of permanent status to Workmen) Act, 1981.

The main reason for directing the presence of the Officer before the Criminal Court is to make them realize the pain and suffering undergone by the employees, who have been litigating before Courts for years together in order to get justice and owing to non-compliance of the orders of this Court by the Officers concerned, the employees are made to face economical death, which is worse than criminal offences on account of the act
