In any case since nobody appears on behalf of the petitioners, and it is the case of the counsel for the respondent that in compliance with the interim order passed by this court under section 17B of the Act, even the interim wages have not been paid. We see no reason to keep this petition pending further 2 and the same is dismissed for non-prosecution as well as for default of appearance.
