trial Court for recalling the impugned N.B.W. order as well as proceeding under Section 82 Cr.P.C., the same shall be decided expeditiously in accordance with law.

Further, the Court shall not entertain the fictitious and repetitive personal exemption application, and if filed, the same shall be dismissed with reasonable costs.
