Gogoi, the learned CGC appearing on behalf of the respondent Nos. 1 and 2. 2.

Taking into account the said submission, the instant writ petition stands closed on withdrawal. Page No.# 3/3 4. The withdrawal of the instant writ petition, however, shall not prejudice the petitioners to approach the Railway Claims Tribunal, if so permissible under law. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
