CAV ORDER
The petitioner, in all the writ petitions, is common. The prayer that is sought in these cases is seeking sanction to prosecute certain Police Officers of different ranks. Therefore, the prayer that is sought is also common. Facts that lead to filing of these petitions are different in each case. Notwithstanding commonality, I deem it appropriate to deal with the issue petition by petition.
