Mr. J.K. Verma, learned Deputy Advocate General has no objection to this proposition. Their statements are taken on record. 3. In the given circumstances, the writ respondents are directed to examine the cases of the writ petitioners in the light of the judgment referred to supra and make a decision within six weeks from today. 4. Having said so, the LPA is allowed and the impugned judgment is modified, as indicated hereinabove. Pending applications, if any stand disposed of.
