UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Ld. Advocate, Mr. Yelamanchili Shiva Santosh Kumar, appearing for respondent No.1 submits that NGT has directed that the order dated 21.2.2024 needs to be brought to the notice of the Hon'ble Supreme Court during hearing. Ld. counsel further submits that respondent No.16 being an official respondent and since the State and its other officials are already represented, hence, notice on respondent no.16 ought to be deemed to have been served. To that, Ld. counsel for the respondent - State submits that they do not have any instruction to appear on behalf of respondent no.16, as on date.

In view of the submission made by the Ld. counsel for the respondent, it will not be appropriate to consider the notice on respondent No.16 to be served. Hence, Ld. counsel for the appellant is to take fresh steps and file fresh particulars in respect of unserved respondent No.16 within four weeks, as last opportunity.

Respondent Nos.1 and 20 have already filed counter affidavit.
