3. By the impugned award, the petitioner herein was directed to reinstate the respondents-workmen within thirty (30) days from the date of publication of the award without any backwages with all consequential benefits and the award was enforceable after the expiry of thirty (30) days from the date of publication under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
4. Aggrieved by the said award, the petitioner- Management is before this Court questioning the same on several grounds urged in these petitions.
5. During the pendency of these petitions, on 17.08.2018, memorandum of settlement has been entered into between the petitioner-Management and the respondents- workmen, where the parties have amicably settled their dispute. The petitioner-Management has expressed its difficulty in reinstating the respondents-workmen and upon negotiation between both of them, the petitioner-Management and the respondents-workmen have agreed to the terms and conditions as per the settlement at para-1 in the internal page Nos.5 to
10.

6. Sri S.B.Mukkannappa, learned counsel, who is present before the Court, is directed to accept notice for respondents- workmen.
7. It is submitted by the learned counsel for petitioner- Management that the respondents-workmen had initiated contempt proceedings for non-compliance of the award and the contempt came to be dropped, in view of the settlement and some additional amount was paid in the contempt proceedings in favour of the workmen. The said fact is not disputed by the learned counsel for the respondents-workmen.
8. In view of the settlement having been agreed upon between the petitioner-Management and the respondents- workmen in all these cases on 17.08.2018 and the lumpsum amount of compensation having been paid to the workmen as full and final settlement and all consequential benefits including back wages and all terminal benefits, gratuity and other benefits having been provided, nothing further would survive to be agitated in these petitions.

9. Under the circumstances, the lis having come to an end, I do not find any legal impediment in closing these petitions in view of the settlement agreed upon between the petitioner-Management and the respondents-workmen in all these cases. Therefore, these petitions do not survive for consideration any more.
Accordingly, these petitions are disposed of in terms of the Settlement between the parties.
