1. The applicant preferred the instant MCC for modification/ clarification of

3. Learned State counsel ex adverso would submit that while allowing the writ appeal, this court has been pleased to grant liberty to the authority concerned to pass fresh orders, in accordance with law.

6. From perusal of the aforesaid judgment, it is quite vivid that this Court allowed the writ appeal and granted liberty to the authority concerned to pass fresh orders in accordance with law.
