Sri N.Rajeswara Rao, learned Standing Counsel for the Central Government, would express no objection for the order of the Learned Single Judge, to the extent costs are imposed, to be set aside. The order under appeal, to the limited extent costs of Rs.10,000/- were imposed on the appellant-writ petitioner, is, accordingly, set aside and the Writ Appeal is dismissed as infructuous, subject to the aforesaid observations. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, ACJ) ____________________________ (KONGARA VIJAYA LAKSHMI, J) 11th April, 2018 JSU
