We are refraining from commenting on the merits of the case lest it may prejudice the petitioners’ case at the trial, which they are yet to face. 6. The writ petition, therefore, is liable to be dismissed and is, hereby, dismissed summarily. 7. Consequently, CLMA No. 8466 of 2006 also stands dismissed. (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) (Rajeev Gupta, C.
