The writ petitioner and other interested parties will appear before the third respondent on 09.11.2023 at 03.00 pm. After hearing all the interested parties and based on the materials on record, the third respondent will pass a fresh order on merits and in accordance with law. I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter. 3.This writ petition is allowed on these terms. No costs.
