2. When the matter was taken up for hearing today, it is stated by the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents that the order of the Writ Court has been challenged in an intra Court appeal in W.A.(MD).No. 1029 of 2023, which is posted along with batch of Writ Appeals covering the issue and an order of interim stay has been granted in C.M.P.(MD).No.7850 of 2023 vide order dated 11.07.2023.
