In the replication, the petitioners have specifically stated that they have no objection if they are transferred to any unit of NTC any where in India. Counsel for respondents No.2 and 3, on instructions from Shri D.K. Sharma, Acting General Manager of NTC, states that the petitioners shall not be retrenched on account of closure of respondent No.3 mill and they may be transferred to other units of NTC. However, in case, the NTC wants to retrench the services of the petitioner by treating them as workers of NTC, they can do so in accordance with law. In view of the statement, made by counsel for respondents No.2 and 3, counsel for the petitioner does not want to press this petition. Petition is, accordingly, dismissed as not pressed.
