            CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH
            ORAL ORDER
 8              Patna High Court CWJC No.11145 of 2014 (3) dt.18-03-2017

                                                      8/8

In these writ applications, the petitioners are employees of the Bihar State Co-operative Marketing Union Limited (for short 'BISCOMAUN'). They seek a direction to be issued to the respondents to pay their post-retiral dues.

Learned counsel for the respondent-BISCOMAUN raised a preliminary objection with regard to maintainability of these writ applications. He submits that now the issue stands settled by a Special Bench of this Court in The Organizer, Dehri C.D. & C. M. Union Limited vs. The State of Bihar & Ors., reported in 2014 (1) PLJR 695.

Learned counsel for the petitioners agree that in view of the Special Bench judgment, a writ application would not be maintainable against the BISCOMAUN.

That being so, these writ petitions are dismissed as not maintainable.

However, the petitioners would be at liberty to avail their remedies before the appropriate forum.
