State of Jharkhand & Ors.”. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents does not dispute the aforesaid fact and fairly admits that the order passed in “Kamla Devi” (Supra) shall be squarely applicable in the instant case. He further submits that though State has even challenged the order passed in the case of “Kamla Devi” (Supra) in LPA No. 500 of 2019 but could not succeed. 4. Having regard to the aforesaid submissions, the impugned order contained in Memo No. 405 dated 19.07.2008 is quashed and set aside. As a result, the instant writ application is allowed on the same finding and reasoning what has been given by co-ordinate Bench of this Court in W.P.(S) No.4001 of 2015. 5. Pending I.A., if any, also stand disposed of. (Deepak Roshan, J.) 23.09.2025 Amit
