2. The Court therefore permits the present Petitioner to now approach the AFT, not later than four weeks from today, by filing an appropriate application in accordance with law.

3. It is clarified that it will be open to parties to rely on the pleadings in the present petition before the AFT. The interim order already passed by the Court is directed to continue till such time the AFT passes appropriate orders.
