After the Judgment is pronounced, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the State prays for stay of the operation of the Judgment. We must observe that the judgment of the Central Administrative Tribunal, which is the subject matter involved in the present Writ Petitions, had also granted time to the State to start the process for fresh selection, but admittedly no steps have been taken till date. However, in the interest of justice and keeping in view the importance of the questions of law involved in the present Writ Petitions, we stay the operation of the Judgment for a period of two weeks, but we make it clear that Clause (b) of paragraph 87 of the operative order of the Judgment shall not be stayed and we expect the State to commence the process forthwith. 2. The Registry is directed to return the original file which was produced in the Court by the learned Counsel appearing for the State to the learned Government Pleader, High Court, Original Side, Bombay. CHIEF JUSTICE S.A. BOBDE, J.
