THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
11.04.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 30920 OF 2019 2
JUDGMENT
When this writ petition is taken up for consideration today, it is not disputed before me that there are civil disputes pending between the petitioner and the private respondents. It is appropriate that, in the nature of the issues raised in the writ petition, these disputes are to be adjudicated by a civil court.
Accordingly, this writ petition is closed, reserving liberty of the petitioner to raise all contentions before the competent civil court either in pending proceedings or in fresh proceedings.
