The learned counsel for the Petitioner submitted that the learned Coordinate Bench of this Court vide an order dated 27.04.2026 disposed of the said writ petition with a direction to the Appellate Authority to dispose of the Appeal within a period of 30 days. He, therefore, submitted that in the circumstance, if the Appeal is allowed, the Petitioner should be given the liberty to revive the prayer by filing a separate writ petition.
