JUSTICE RANJANA PRAKASH DESAI For Petitioner(s) Mr. Deepak Singh, Adv. Mr. Suresh Kr. Sharma, Adv. Mr. Shashank Tripathi, Adv. For Mr. Nitin Kumar Thakur,Adv. For Respondent(s) UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following O R D E R Delay condoned. On hearing counsel for the petitioner, we are satisfied that the High Court was quite right in not granting any relief to the petitioner as prayed by him in the writ petition. But at the same time, in the facts and circumstances of the case, we find no justification for imposition of such heavy costs (Rs.1,50,000/- with simple interest @ 6% per annum) against him. We, accordingly, set aside the High Court order only insofar as imposition of cost is concerned. The special leave petition is disposed of.
