These writ petitions were filed in the year 2008 challenging the decision taken by the official respondents not to renew the agreements entered into with the petitioners for providing security service in the installations of BSNL. I am of the opinion that as the agencies appointed in the place of the petitioners have not been impleaded and they have been providing security service for the past more than one year, no relief can be granted to the petitioners. These writ petitions fail and are accordingly dismissed. However, it is clarified that the dismissal of these writ petitions will not stand in the way of the petitioners from moving the competent authority by filing representations seeking redressal of their grievances.
