NO.2384 OF 2008 AND 2353 OF 2008 THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: J.B.KOSHY, Ag.CJ & V.GIRI, J. =========================== W.A.Nos.2355, 2353 and 2384 of 2008 =============================== Dated this the 1st day of January, 2009. J U D G M E N T Koshy, Ag.CJ. All these appeals are filed against the interim order passed by the learned Single Judge on similar matter. In W.P.(C). No23426/2006 (W.A.No.2353/2008) a detailed counter affidavit was filed wherein it was explained that administrative sanction was cancelled due to change in policy. No reasons are stated, but Government was directed to restore the administrative sanction. Since the counter affidavit was filed and these writ petitions are ripe for hearing, we are of the view that these writ petitions have to be heard on merit as the main relief is virtually granted by the interim orders. In the above circumstances, impugned interim orders are set aside and parties may seek expeditious disposal of the writ petition, before the learned Single Judge. We are not expressing any opinion regarding the merits of the case. These appeals are disposed of accordingly. J.B.KOSHY, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE V.GIRI, JUDGE bkn/-
