Mr.Riyaaz Jaan, learned senior counsel appearing for newly added respondent No.8 to 23 submits that the said respondents have filed writ petitions including O.W.P. No.954 of 2014 which are all pending before the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir at Srinagar. Learned counsel submits that since the questions falling for determination in the said petitions before the High Court are similar and inter-related to the questions that fall for determination in the present special leave petition, the said writ petitions could be directed to be transferred to this Court so that the same could be heard along with the present special leave petition.

Mr. Sunil Fernandes, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. G.M. Kawoosa, learned counsel for respondent No.2 to 5 and Mr. Gaurav Sharma, learned counsel for respondent No.6-MCI have no objection to the transfer of the pending writ petitions from the High Court of Jammmu & Kashmir to this Court.

In the circumstances, therefore, we allow the oral prayer for transfer of O.W.P. No.954 of 2014 and all the connected matters filed by respondent No.8 to 23 and pending before the High Court to this Court to be heard along with the present special leave petition. Learned counsel for respondent No.8 to 23 shall furnish to the Registry the particulars of all such writ petitions which shall stand transferred to this Court and shall be listed for hearing in the month of April, 2016.
