The said point is covered against the petitioners by the decision of a Division Bench of this Court in State of Kerala and others v. Thirumeni M.S. and others - ILR 2007(4) Kerala 374. In view of the above decision, I find no merit in this Writ Petition. The Writ Petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. P.N.Ravindran, Judge. ess 26/8
