J U D G M E N T Petitioners are aggrieved by the proceedings of the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Ernakulam(Ext.P4 in both cases). The main contention of the petitioners is that unless a decision is rendered by the Supreme Court in Ext.P5 proceedings, the Tribunal is not justified in passing the impugned order. It is also submitted that in view of the recent notification dated 6.5.2008, the entire matters will have to be considered by the Supreme Court. The issue in any case requires fresh consideration. Therefore, without prejudice to the liberty to the petitioners to take all available contentions at the time of renewal and making the interim orders operative till such time, the writ petitions are closed. The parties will be bound by the decision of the Supreme Court in Ext.P5 proceedings.
