He furnished a copy of the said judgment to the Court at the hearing. Since the counter-affidavit was filed in the year 2007 and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home is unable to report on the latest position regarding pendency of the cases, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent Nos.2 and 3 to reconsider the case of the petitioner.
