The request of the learned counsel for the appellant appears to be reasonable and if it is granted it would not cause any prejudice to the other side. Therefore, we pass the following: ORDER (i). The writ appeal is disposed of, for the present. (ii). Liberty is reserved to the appellant to implead himself, if any one of the parties in the writ petition questions the correctness or otherwise of the orders passed by the learned Single Judge. (iii). All the contentions of the appellant are kept open. (2). Consequently, the reliefs sought for in I.A.No.154/2008 is rejected. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE MS
