21/AHD/2008. The learned Counsel for the Appellant submits that the facts and circumstances of the present Appeal are different. It is also informed that there are subsequent events where the two orders are passed in favour of the Appellant and copies of orders would be filed at an early date. Anyhow, without expressing any opinion on merits at this stage, the objection of Mr. Rajeev Awasthi, Advocate would also be considered at the time of hearing of the Appeal.
Both the parties are allowed to file written synopsis along with the copies of the judgments which were decided earlier by this Tribunal and other judgments on which they rely on or before the next date.
