Accordingly, it is submitted that the present case is squarely covered by the judgement of this Court dated 13.02.2025 passed in Special Appeal No.459 of 2023, therefore, the relief prayed for by the petitioner in the present petition cannot be granted. 4.

Sameer Rao and 3 others), therefore, the present writ petition is also dismissed in terms of the order dated 13.02.2025 passed in Special Appeal No.459 of 2023.
