Counsel for the State in all these cases have, however, taken a plea that the issue raised in these writ applications stands settled by the judgment of the Full Bench in the case of Shri Sidheshwar Prasad & Ors versus The State of Bihar, reported in 1999(3) PLJR 490. That being so, these writ applications are also disposed of in terms of the order passed by this Court in the case of Shri Sidheshwar Prasad (supra). Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
