ORDER : V.N. Khare, CJI. - It is not disputed that the petitioner herein was a party in the writ petition filed in the High Court by respondents Nos. 1 to 6 herein. After we heard the matter, we are of the view that the petitioner herein did not have adequate opportunity of filing counter affidavit in opposition to the admission of the writ petition and grant of interim relief. We, accordingly, direct that it would be open to the petitioner to file such an affidavit within two weeks before the High Court. On such an affidavit being filed by the petitioner, the High Court shall consider the admission of the writ petition as well as vacation of the interim relief expeditiously uninfluenced by any observations made by it earlier. Any remittance of amount by the petitioner herein and respondents Nos. 13 and 14 shall be subject to any order that may be passed by the High Court. 2. In view of the fact that the petitioner is being relegated to the High Court, this special leave petition does not survive for decision and it stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
