9. At the request of Mr. Sachin Kumar, list these cases on 07.08.2025 awaiting the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Special Leave to Appeal No.16888 of 2017.
Writ petitions should adhere to procedural rules and timelines, with the court allowing amendments due to subsequent events.
The issue falls under the purview of the executive government and is not a subject matter for the Law Commission or the court to debate on.
Pending issues in writ petitions require resolution by the Supreme Court before further proceedings can continue.
The court emphasized the importance of procedural integrity by consolidating related writ petitions to ensure fair adjudication in light of Supreme Court directives.
The dismissal of similar special leave petitions reinforces judicial consistency in decisions concerning identical issues.
The court allowed the state to withdraw an affidavit to file a revised one and scheduled subsequent proceedings.
