Though the submissions were made with regard the validity and legality of the order in question but the Court is not inclined to get the matter re-adjudicated or re-heard for the primary reason that the submissions relate to the question of facts and evidence in which there are concurrent findings of all the three courts against the petitioners. The Court is not willing to work as a special appellate forum for adjudication of the issue afresh in exercise of power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 3.
