On 29.4.2014 a detailed order was passed making the earlier interim orders absolute and posted the cases for further hearing. Aggrieved by the orders dated 29.4.2014. Writ Appeal No. 945 of 2014 was filed. The Division Bench of this Court by order dated 17.6.2014 directed as under:

"11. We have seen the impugned order and it does not appear that the Hon'ble trial Judge was supplied with the classified confidential documents, which are placed before us, for consideration. Having looked into them, we have no doubt in our mind that these documents need serious consideration of His Lordship and there were not considered by His Lordship. We also note that His Lordship has no opportunity to deal with the relevancy of the Division Bench judgment of this Court in relation to the issue raised by the appellants before us.

12. Learned counsel for the writ petitioners say that the aforesaid decision is distinguishable. We feel until and unless it is held so by the Hon'ble trial Judge, we cannot examine this contention. According to us, this matter requires re-look, so also prima facie findings of the Hon'ble trial Judge and observations in relation to the issues. We are of the view that any exercise without consideration of the aforesaid classified confidential document and the judgment of the Hon'ble Division Bench, cannot be said to be a proper judicial one even at the interlocutory stage.

13. We, therefore, request the Hon'ble trial Judge to re-examine the matter taking note of above material and the judgment of Division Bench and to come to a fresh conclusion on the merits and demerits of the case on the next date of hearing, which was fixed on 23.6.2014 (only five days away)."

Hence, these writ petitions and Public Interest Litigations are heard and disposed of by this order.
