The learned standing counsel appearing for the first respondent submitted that an identical issue has been considered by this Court in W.P.No.27418 of 2003 and batch and that the similar contentions raised by the petitioners therein were not accepted by this Court and the writ petitions were dismissed by a common order dated 09-03- 2004.

In the facts and circumstances of the case and on a perusal of the order dated 09-03-2004 in W.P.No.27418 of 2003 and batch and the order of the Division Bench, I am of the view that the writ petition is devoid of any merit and the same is liable to be dismissed.
