Now that the strike has been called off, the petitioners do not have any cause of action, since I am sure the respondents would release the tanker lorries to the petitioners. Of course, the petitioners raise a contention that their lorries have suffered damages for which they are entitled to an adequate possession. That is a matter which the petitioners should plead and prove in a suit filed for the same. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to file a suit for damages in respect of the alleged damages caused to the petitioners' vehicles, this writ petition is dismissed.
