This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
ORAL ORDER
The petition is preferred long after framing of the charges.
2. In the light of the charges being framed, the entertainment of the petition will run foul of the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of MINAKSHI BALA V. SUDHIR KUMAR1.
3. Reserving liberty to the petitioners to avail of such remedy, as is available in law, the petition stands disposed.
4. The petitioners are at liberty to urge every contention before the concerned Court at the appropriate time.
HC-KAR
5. It is needless to observe that the concerned Court shall answer all the contentions so advanced by the petitioners.
6. Since the issue is of the year 2018, I deem it appropriate to infuse finality into the proceedings with a direction to the concerned Court to dispose the proceedings itself within 4 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid observations, the petition stands disposed. Ordered accordingly.
