This single paragraph order notes that the parties agreed the legal issue was governed by a prior Supreme Court judgment, rendering the question non-arguable. Consequently, the High Court disposed of the writ petition seeking a certiorari without detailed reasoning.
The writ petition was disposed of with no costs awarded.
