Counsel for the respondents, on instruction, states that the case of the petitioner is under process to be taken for a final decision so far as the show cause notice is concerned. He submits that many of the cases of

similarly situated persons of other districts have already been disposed of in the light of the orders of the respondents concluding the show cause proceeding by issuing warning to the respective petitioners.
