It is upon the citizens ...

I had answered most of the Questions last time and we had left at a point where the parties were to record a consent. So far, we have made progress and the two parties appeared before the Industrial Court on 15th December, 2011. They reviewed the coding and out of court settlement but somehow they disagreed. They have been recalled tomorrow 16th February, 2012 and we hope that the matter will be settled once and for all tomorrow.
