ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) Petitioner has filed this petition, after having exhausted remedy up to the Supreme Court, on the ground that though in exercise of the liberty granted by the Supreme Court she has preferred representation, the authorities have not decided the same.
2. After going through the orders passed by this Court and by the Supreme Court, it is clear that no direction has been given to any authority. It has been held that petitioner's remedy lies in filing suit. The order of the Supreme Court also shows that petitioner was given liberty to file representation prior to moving civil Court. If the representation has remained unheard, petitioner has to approach the civil Court for remedy sought in this petition.
3. With the liberty to approach civil Court, petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the interim application is also dismissed.
