However, they submit that though the orders have been passed, the actual payment has not been made and therefore, necessary directions be issued to respondent Nos. 2, 3, and 4 to make payment pursuant to the orders dated 08.01.2026 and 17.01.2026, copies of which are placed on record by learned Advocate Mr. Gaurav Chudasama and learned Advocate Ms. Vidhi Bhatt appearing for the petitioners. 2. Learned Assistant Government Pleader Mr. Henil Shah, appearing for the respondent–State, upon instructions from Shri M. N.

In view of the above, learned Assistant Government Pleader Mr. Henil Shah states that since the impugned orders have been quashed, the directions are required to be complied with by respondent Nos. 2, 3, and 4 and shall be complied with at the earliest. However, though the aforesaid statement may be said to be sufficient, respondent Nos. 2, 3, and 4 are directed to comply with the orders dated 17.01.2026 and 08.01.2026 on or before 31.03.2026. 4.

Accordingly, the present petitions stand disposed of as not pressed. (NIRZAR S. DESAI,J) Pallavi
