The petitioners have relied on the said judgment and order of the Division Bench in order to contend that the present batch of writ petitions wherein the said order dated 17.03.2016 (Annexure-1) is under challenge merits to be allowed. 6. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that in the case of Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan (supra) the Division Bench relied on another judgment of the Division Bench passed in CWJC No. 6404 of 2016 (Samrat Chemical Industries vs. State of Bihar and Others) as would appear from paragraph nos. 5 and 33 of the judgment passed in the case of Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan (supra). The State Government has already filed a Special Leave Petition against the judgment and order dated 30.09.2016 passed in Samrat Chemical Industries (supra). The State Government is also contemplating to file Special Leave Petition against the judgment and order passed in CWJC No. 6415 of 2016 by the Division Bench. 7. It has been urged on behalf of the petitioners that the issue as raised herein having been decided by the Division Bench, the present application should be allowed subject to the result of the SLP, if any, preferred by the State Government against the judgment and order passed in CWJC No. 6415 of 2016. 8. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that the Court should stay its hand until an order is passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in pending SLP filed against the order dated 27.10.2016 passed in Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan Private Limited (supra). He has, however, not disputed that the present case is covered by the judgment and order passed by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan Private Limited (supra). 9. He has, however, not disputed that the present case is covered by the judgment and order passed by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan Private Limited (supra). 9.

Limited (supra), is inclined to allow these applications which, however, shall be subject to the result of the SLP to be preferred by the State Government against the order dated 27.10.2016 passed in the case of Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan Pvt. Limited (supra). 10. In the terms aforesaid, the present applications are allowed.
