There is no dispute about the fact that the present petitioners are the members of the said Samitee. On 06.01.2011, the Division Bench of this Court disposed of the said Writ Petition No.1489 of 2010 by observing that since the High Power Committee is seized of the matter, it was not appropriate for them to exercise jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution.

It is stated that the High Power Committee has not yet disposed of the proceedings. 2 2. Since the proceedings which were directed by this Court to be disposed of have not yet been disposed of by the High Power Committee, we are left with no option but to again give direction to the High Power Committee to dispose it of within a time frame. We have heard learned counsel appearing for the High Power Committee. He states that a direction may be given to the High Power Committee to dispose of the proceedings within eight weeks. In the circumstances, we direct the High Power Committee to dispose of the proceedings within eight weeks from today. We direct the parties to co- operate with the High Power Committee. 3. Parties may approach the High Power Committee within two weeks from today for interim protection. The High Power Committee may consider the application for interim protection in accordance with law. 4. Petition stands disposed of. (R.G.KETKAR, J.) (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J.)
