What is this about?

The Division Bench of the Delhi High Court disposed of multiple concatenated writ petitions against a common judgment.

Petitioners were granted liberty to revive the petitions if grievances persist.

What did the court decide?

Petitions disposed; liberty granted to revive petitions if grievance survives.
