CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. JANUARY 20, 2009. JANUARY 20, 2009. JANUARY 20, 2009. P.C. 1. Heard Counsel for the Applicants. 2. The prayer for early hearing of Writ Petition is rejected as Writ Petition pertains to year 2006 only. As of now, there are several Petitions pending for final hearing since 1990 and even earlier to that. No preference can be given to present Writ Petition. In any case, I find no : 2 : good reason to ignore those old matters and to expedite the hearing of the present Writ Petition. In the circumstances, application is rejected. 3. However, according to the Applicants, the matter pending in this Court is virtually academic as there is no contest to the issues raised by the Applicants in the pending Writ Petition. On this argument, it is submitted that the Applicants, nevertheless, are required to pay substantial amount of Rs.51,000/- (Rupees Fifty-one Thousand) per month towards royalty fixed by this Court. If that is the grievance of the Applicants, the Applicants are free to take out application for recall of fixation of royalty amount which will be considered on its own merits but that cannot be ground for early hearing of the Writ Petition. Ordered accordingly. A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.
