anomaly in accordance with law as well as their promotion within a time frame.

¶27

The grievance of the petitioners association is that, the members of petitioners' association are employed in the 1^st respondent Tamil Nadu Telecommunications Limited and the 1^st respondent company had become sick, and the company did not pay gratuity and other service benefits. Hence, seeking the same, the present Writ Petitions have been filed.

¶28

Today, when the matters were taken up for hearing, Mrs.R.Rathna Thara, learned counsel for respondents submitted that, even though the Tamil Nadu Telecommunication Limited was the sister concern and the 1^st respondent company had become sick, the members of petitioner association have been absorbed in the 1^st respondent's sister concern viz., Telecommunications Consultants India Limited and now all the employees are working in the said concern. Hence, no further adjudication is required in these Writ Petitions. Learned counsel appearing for respondents would further submit that, all the petitioners have given undertaking before the authority that they will withdraw the Writ Petitions. Accordingly, suitable orders may be passed.

¶29

Heard and considered rival submissions made by learned counsel appearing for both sides and perused the records carefully.

¶30

Considering the fact that, all the members of petitioners association are absorbed in the 1^st respondent company, all these Writ Petitions are liable to be closed. Accordingly, these Writ Petitions are closed. No costs. Consequently, connected Writ Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
