She is aggrieved by the order of the learned Single Judge in W.P. No. 45242 of 2016 dated 26.6.2016 whereby, while directing the official respondents to complete investigation and file a final report in accordance with law without arresting the respondent-writ petitioners, they were directed to appear before the Station House Officer concerned, and to execute a personal bond for Rs.5,000/- with one surety each for a like sum each. The appellant herein is arrayed as a respondent in the writ petition.

The writ petition was disposed of even without putting her on notice and without her being given an opportunity of being heard. On the short ground of violation of principles of natural justice, the order under appeal is set aside. The appellant shall file her counter affidavit within ten days from today. It is open to the respondents-writ petitioners to request the learned Single Judge to take up the writ petition for admission, and for grant of interlocutory relief any day after ten days from today. The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall also stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
