UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following ORDER

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

In our opinion, it is just and proper that writ petition

itself is heard by this Court instead of examining the grievance about the manner in which the interim directions have been passed and then vacated by the High Court. Indeed, this order is not a reflection on the proceedings before the High Court, in any manner, but in larger public interest, we deem it appropriate that the entire matter pertaining to challenge pending before the High Court is heard and decided by this court expeditiously.

We are given to understand that there is one more writ petition pending before the High Court involving the same issue. Accordingly, Writ Petition Nos. 1568 and 1575 of 2020 pending before the High Court of Delhi shall stand withdrawn to this Court and be registered as Transferred Cases, to be heard along with the present Special Leave Petition on 18.03.2020.

Letters Patent Appeal No. 119 of 2020 before the High Court stands disposed of in terms of this order.

Any steps taken by the authorities, in the meantime, will be subject to the outcome of the proceedings.

Liberty is granted to both sides to file additional documents.

The Registry shall forthwith call for the case records of Writ Petition Nos. 1568 and 1575 of 2020 from the High Court.
