UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

We have pointed out to learned counsel for the petitioners that there are many States in this country which have a system of public prosecutor being appointed through the Public Service Commission or other selection system. There are some States which have a combined system of some public prosecutor being appointed by selection and some appointed through the route of Section 25(4) and (5) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Learned counsel for the petitioners are directed to prepare a chart of all these States and the States which are following a proper system should not be made respondents and their names be deleted from the array of parties.
