The case was given a case number being Case No.JH/20/M/JKH/00154 and the said Council had rendered its decision on 18.08.2022, which is annexed as Annexure 5 to the writ petition. The said adjudication by the Council has not been questioned by the respondents in any forum and has attained finality. -2 of 2- 3.
