JUDGMENT :

SUNIL B. SHUKRE, J.

1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of learned counsel for the respective parties.

2. Learned AGP has sought time to obtain necessary instructions following the order passed by this Court on 19th August 2023. In support, he has tendered across the bar a communication dated 22nd August 2023, which is taken on record and marked as ‘Document-A’.

3. In normal course, we would have granted the request as made in the communication, Document-A, which seeks time of eight weeks for obtaining necessary instructions. But having regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, we are of the view that we would be doing injustice to the original petitioners, if we accede to such a request made on behalf of the State Government.

4. The peculiarity of these two review petitions arise mainly from certain facts. The order sought to be reviewed is a common order and it is passed in three Writ Petitions namely Writ Petition No. 12380, Writ Petition No. 13323 and Writ Petition (St) No. 29331 all filed in the year 2016. These three petitions sought enforcement of the order dated 9th September 2014 passed by the Hon’ble Minister of State
