Today, at the time of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners was specifically asked as to whether the petitioners intend to appear before respondent No.1 for fresh hearing, to which she initially consented, however, later she insisted that order on merits be passed in the present petition rather than making the petitioners appear before respondent No.1. In such circumstances, once the speaking order has already been passed on the representation submitted by the petitioners, order dated 18/10/2024 stands complied with.

In view of the aforesaid, the present petition is disposed of.
