that the issue raised in these petitions is squarely covered by the

decision of this Court in Writ Petition No.13945/2025 and by the

advocate for the petitioners was not available on that date, the matters

were adjourned for today for disposal.

2.    Today when the matters were called out in the morning session
                                 3                        903.WP.11911.25.odt

none appears for the petitioners and the matters were kept back.

None appears for the petitioners even in the second session.

3.        The issue raised in this petitions is squarely covered by the

decision of this Court mentioned in the earlier paragraph. For the

reasons stated in the said order, the writ petitions are dismissed. There

shall be no order as to costs.
