3. Learned Standing Counsel Sri. M.A.K. Muqheed appearing for respondent Nos.1 & 2 also does not dispute the fact that this Court has passed series of orders and even against one order they have filed an appeal and the Division Bench of this Court has confirmed the said orders.

No order as to costs.

Miscellaneous applications, pending if any, shall stand closed.
