In normal course, this Court would not have entertained the petitions filed under Article 32 of the Constitution as the petitioners could have approached the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. However, to avoid the possibiity of the petitioners filing writ petitions in different High Courts, at this stage, we are entertaining these petitions.

Learned ASG prays for a time of four weeks to file counter affidavit. Accordingly, time is granted.

List on 10.04.2023.
