Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-02-1994

Reported in: (1994)2CALLT345(HC)

Rabin Bhattacharyya, J.1. The instant Writ application is aimed at, inter alia, praying for issuance of a Writ of, or in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to cancel, withdraw, revoke and to forebear from giving any effect to the impugned order of demobilisation of the respondent No. 2 commanding him to allot duties to the petitioners alongwith ancillary prayers for certiorari and for other consequential reliefs.2. The sensitive facts of the Writ application unfold the lone voyage of the petitioners in quest of natural justice, despite the loyal service rendered by them as Home Guard under the Magra Police Station, Dist.
