The Division Bench of this Court in the order dated 10.07.2024 passed in W.P.No.26084 of 2024 had clearly held that the relief claimed in those Writ Petitions is restricted to the petitioners therein alone and it was also made clear that citing the judgment, fence-sitters will not be entitled to similar relief by filing fresh writ petitions. In view of the above, the prayer sought by the present Writ Petitioner cannot be granted, as the same would amount to reviewing of the earlier order passed by the Division Bench of this Court."
