The writ petition was dismissed for default as against the 1st respondent by order of this Court dated 07.03.2003 and since no orders can be passed against the 1st respondent, the direction sought to the 1st respondent to pass orders in the appeal cannot be granted. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ______________ 13.08.2008 GS
