The petitioners seek to fasten liability on both the respondents alleging negligence on the part of the drivers of the train and the auto as well. Realizing that the remedy under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for awarding compensation in such cases is not an appropriate remedy, the learned counsel seeks permission to withdraw these Writ Petitions to approach an appropriate forum in the light of the judgment of the Apex Court in Union of India v. Bhagawathi Prasad (dead) & Others[1]. Permission sought for withdrawal is accorded and the Writ Petitions are dismissed as withdrawn. The petitioners are at liberty to seek remedies as are available to them under law. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 25th March, 2011. Note : Issue C.C. by 29-03-2011.
