PETITIONERS AND 1 Mineral Exploration Corporation Ltd., rep. by its Chairman & Managing Director, Seminari Hills, Nagapur, Maharastra State. 2 Union of India, rep. by its Secretary, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioners:NONE APPEARED ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to permit the petitioners to join duty as unskilled workers under the corporation where the work is available as the petitioners worked more than 7 years earlier from the year 1988 to 1995.” On 22.04.2009, no one appeared for the petitioners. Even today, there is no appearance for the petitioners despite the fact that the writ petition is coming up under the caption “for dismissal”. It is, therefore, reasonable to presume that the petitioners are not interested in pursuing their cause in the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed in default. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition in default, WPMP.No.35078 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 28th APRIL, 2009. kvni
