Sarmah, learned Standing co unsel, N.F. Railway, appearing on behalf of the respondents. Perused the writ petition and materials on record including a copy of th e order, dated 13.03.2007, passed in WP(C) No. 1232/2007. The pleaded case of the petitioners is that they have booked a consignme nt of coal in one rake consisting of 40 BCN/BCNA wagons through the rail ways from Jogighopa to Vyas Nagar in Uttar Pradesh on 18.02.2008. The coal was loaded on volumetric basis as per marked height in the presence of the Railway O fficials and other staff to their satisfaction. This had to be done as there wa s no weighbridge at Jogighopa Railway Station. After such weighment, the railwa y receipts were issued by the authorities concerned at Jogighopa and the corresp onding freight, demanded by the Railways, was accordingly deposited on 18.02.200 8. According to the petitioners, without their knowledge, the rake was re-weigh ed en route, at Rangapani, on the Railway Motion Weigh Bridge. The petitioner’s request for weighing the rake again at their cost and in their presence having been declined, they are before this Court. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on consideration o f the sworn statements made in the petition, I close this petition with the dire ction that (1) the respondents would allow re-weighment of the petitioners’ coal rake at Vyas Nagar Weighbride, U.P., in presence of the respondent No. 11, Stat ion Master, Vyas Nagar Weighbride, U.P. (2) The petitioners shall execute a Ba nk guarantee to the satisfaction of the respondent authorities in favour of the respondent No. 9, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Northern Railway, Luckno w Division, U.P. Execution of the Bank guarantee would be a condition preceden t for re-weighment as ordered. (3) All expenses for the re-weighment shall be b orne by the petitioners. (4) The respondent authorities shall release the petit ioners’ coal immediately after the re-weighment is complete and all dues, payabl e by the petitioners, are cleared. (5) On such dues being paid, the respondent authorities would also release the Bank guarantee within a period of two weeks t herefrom. It is further made clear that though the directions, given hereinabov e, are in tune with the directions given in the order, dated 13.03.2007, aboveme ntioned, these directions shall not form precedent for all cases, in general. The petition shall stand disposed of with the above observations and dir ections. No order as to costs.
