UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

The counsel have made submissions for early disposal of the present matter pointing out that the interim order passed by this Court on 12.05.2023 is creating certain difficulties. The I.A. No. 104082/2023 is also filed for recalling the Court's order dated 12.05.2023.

It is then pointed out that the present case pertaining to judicial officers in the State of Gujarat will have all India ramifications. Moreover the Court will have to, inter alia, consider the judgments in All India Judges' Association & Ors. v. Union of India & Ors. reported in (2002) 4 SCC 247 and Malik Mazhar Sultan & Anr. v. U.P. Public Service Commission passed in Civil Appeal No. 1867 of 2006 which were dealt with by the three-Judges Bench of this Court. It is therefore submitted that this matter should be dealt by a 3 judges Bench.

The Registry should bring the above aspect to the notice of the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India and obtain appropriate orders for listing of the case.
