The above contentious issue was decided by a Division Bench of this Court in O.P.No.17897 of 1997 and connected cases. Several Review Petitions have been filed against this common judgment. 2. These writ petitions were posted along with the above Review Petitions for hearing, When those Review Petitions came up for consideration before us today, they were disposed of with the following order: “When these review petitions are taken up for consideration, the judgments from which these review petitions arise have been confirmed by the apex court. Therefore, we do not deem it proper to consider these review petitions at this stage. In that view of the matter, these review petitions are closed.” Therefore these writ petitions are also closed.
