Since the controversy involved in this petition has al- ready been set at rest in the case of Ram Chaturvedi (supra), this Court finds no valid reason to take different view. 6. In view of the above, this petition stands disposed of with direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners strictly in accordance with the direction issued in the case of Ram Chaturvedi (Supra). 7.
