For respondent No.4:- Advocate General & Mr. Vikash Kumar, Adv. For respondent No.5:- Mr.Tara Kant Jha, Sr.Adv. Mr. Amrish Kumar, Adv. -------------- 4/ 22-May-09 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the respondents. We find that the prayer made in this writ petition, which has been filed by way of public interest, requires issuance of a mandamus upon the authorities who are to exercise powers legislative in nature. No mandamus can be issued for such purpose. In fact, earlier also a Division Bench of this Court had disposed of a similar writ petition without issuing any mandamus after noticing that the State had already sought some directions in the matter from the Apex Court in Mallik Mazhar Sultan case. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. 2 It goes without saying that petitioner may raise the issue at appropriate forum who have the legislative competence in the matter. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh,ACJ.)
