BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER Date : 30.03.2026
Heard Mr. D. Rathi, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners and Mr. K. Gogoi, the learned CGC appearing on behalf of the respondent Nos. 1 and 2.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that taking into account that the claim so made in the instant writ petition as regards the refund of an amount of Rs. 1,34,50,602/- against the illegal collection of the terminal charges from the petitioners during the period from 2020-2025 would require adjudication of disputed questions of facts, the petitioners would be well advised to approach the Railway Claims Tribunal. Accordingly, the learned counsel submitted that the petitioners would therefore not like to pursue the present proceedings, without prejudice to their right to approach the Railway Claims Tribunal.
3. Taking into account the said submission, the instant writ petition stands closed on withdrawal.
