Dave, CJ) Being aggrieved by the interim order dated 8-8-2008 passed in W.P.M.P.No. 20497 of 2008 in W.P.No. 15809 of 2008, this appeal has been filed. On perusal of the impugned order, we ﬁnd that no counter-aﬃdavit was ﬁled by the present appellants. In our opinion, instead of approaching this Court by ﬁling an appeal, the proper course to be adopted by the present appellants was to ﬁle a counter-aﬃdavit so that the case of the appellants can be placed before the learned Single Judge. Looking to the facts of the case, we dispose of the appeal with an observation that the appellants shall ﬁle their counter- aﬃdavit within two weeks from today and upon ﬁling the counter-aﬃdavit, W.P.M.P.No. 20497 of 2008 in W.P.No. 15809 of 2008 shall be taken up for hearing as soon as possible so that the appellants can present their case before the learned Single Judge. We are sure that the learned Single Judge will decide the said W.P.M.P. as soon as possible. Subject to the above observation, the appeal stands disposed of with no order as to costs. ______________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ __________________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 5th September, 2008.
