Against the judgment in O.P.22648/97, Writ Appeal 2847/00 and connected cases were preferred. Division Bench of this court in its judgment dated 1st October, 2002, dismissed the Writ Appeal 2847/00 and connected cases and granted similar benefits to them in the light of the directions in the judgment in O.P.22648/97. Appellants in this Writ Appeal filed appeals before the Supreme Court and those appeals were dismissed for non-prosecution. In such circumstances, we find there is no reason to interfere with the judgment in O.P.No.11693/99 and hence this Writ Appeal is dismissed. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
