Today, the main writ petition is listed for final hearing along-with the aforesaid notices of motion. The petitioner-in- person submitted that in the interest of justice, if he is allowed to argue Notice of Motion No.509/2008 first, he will not press other notices of motion. 2. On the other hand, Mr.Cama, the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents submitted that so far as Notice of Motion No. 509/2008 is concerned, it relates only to the relief in connection with 2 gratuity and not other reliefs such as re-instatement etc.. Petitioner in person however states that all the points raised in Notice of Motion No. 509/2008 be kept open for arguments as the concession made by the counsel for the petitioner earlier was without consulting the petitioner. Petitioner in person submitted that the statement made earlier by the counsel for the petitioner regarding restricting the prayer for gratuity only, was made in mistake and it was made without asking/consulting the petitioner. 3. Be that as it may, for the time being, it will be open to the petitioner-in- person to argue Notice of Motion No.509/2008 first praying for the reliefs claimed therein and it will be open for the Respondents to oppose the said reliefs claimed in Notice of Motion No.509/2008. 4. Mr.Cama, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the Respondents submitted that the reliefs claimed by the petitioner in Notice of Motion No.509/2008 such as reinstatement & other reliefs cannot be granted in the said notice of motion. 5. At this stage we are not expressing any opinion. We keep all the points open for arguments and it is ordered that the Notice of Motion No. 509/2008 will be heard first and after the decision of Notice of Motion No.509/2008, the main writ petition will be immediately taken for hearing. 6.
