None present for the petitioners.
Records reveal that these petitions were filed in the year 2016 challenging the Tender Notice No.EL/HWH/25/21/2836 for escorting job of coach attendant for bed roll distribution for various trains at sorting yard coaching depot for one year.
The grievance raised by the petitioners at that time was that the hourly rate fixed for the labours was much less than the minimum wages.
The NIT was for one year and thereafter more than 5 years have passed. Therefore, nothing survives in these petitions. Even otherwise no one is present to prosecute the petitions which are accordingly dismissed.
