If Sri Vikas Rojipura, the learned Additional Government Advocate, seeks disposal in the light of the turn of events, Sri K.R. Ramesh, the learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that Smt.

The learned counsel submits that, in the peculiarities, this Court may observe that the petitioner will be at liberty to move this Court for revival in case there is any interim order that requires the petitioner to hand over the charge to Smt.A.Nalina Kumari. This Court accepts the submission, and the petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE Sd/- (T.M.NADAF) JUDGE SA ct:sr
