In view of its withdrawal the order dated 23.3.1999, which is impugned in the present writ petition, renders ineffective. Insofar as respondent no.2-a is concerned, it is open for her to make an application for impleading her as party-applicant in the reference applications filed by Shankar Mhatre and Sudam Mhatre and if such application is made the concerned court/authority shall allow her application/s and proceed to decide the reference applications on merits in accordance with law. It would be desirable to hear and dispose of all the reference applications filed by the petitioners and the respondents (i.e. Shankar Mhatre and Sudam Mhatre) together. The respondents to make a formal application before the court below seeking hearing of all the reference applications together. In the circumstances nothing further survives in this petition. The writ petition is disposed of. :3: :3: :3: (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
