Devan Ramachandran, J.

It is conceded at the bar by the learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri. Leo George, that the issues in this case have already been adverted to and answered by this bench in the judgment in OP(FC)No.495 of 2025. He was, therefore, gracious enough to add that his client will be satisfied if the directions in the said judgment are made specifically applicable to this case also.

2. We have no doubt that in the judgment in OP(FC)No.495 of 2025, we had even taken note of the fact of the petitioner having filed a fresh Original Petition – namely this one - before us. However, this Original Petition, was not listed before us only on account of technical reasons, which have now been cured.

In the above circumstances, we dispose of this Original Petition in terms of our observations, holdings, findings, and directions in the judgment in OP(FC)No.495 of 2025 dated 19^th September 2025.
