DATED: 14th August,2009. P.C.: The learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioners states that during the pendency of these petitions a statement made on behalf of the Respondent-State that no coercive action will be taken against the Petitioners was operating, and as that statement was operating, admittedly, till today, in our opinion, it will be appropriate to direct the Respondent-State not to take any coercive action against the Petitioners for a period of eight weeks from today.
