Since we have already allowed the writ petition No.2519 of 2006 wherein similar order was challenged, we also allow this petition and quash and set aside the impugned order. 3. Rule is thus made absolute on the above terms with no orders as to costs. ( A.V.POTDAR ) ( P.V.HARDAS ) JUDGE JUDGE vvr/5908.06wp
