I have examined the material on record from this point of view. Though the case of the present Applicant and that of the said Mannu Sharma cannot be BA-1208-11.sxw 2 Dixit said to be exactly identical, the fact remains that there is not much distinction between his case also, so as to require the Applicant to be treated differently from the said Mannu Sharma. 5.
