'7...... The original impugned notices were not served on us and the same was affixed by the 2nd respondent on our doors. Unless and until this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to dispense with the production of the original impugned order, we would be put to irreparable loss and hardship, which cannot be compensated in terms of money and on the other hand, no prejudice shall be caused to the respondents in any manner.'

¶19

and nature of the matter on hand, the above reason is accepted for the limited purpose of dispense with prayer in captioned WMP without expressing any other opinion in this order.

6. In the light of the narrative thus far, dispense with prayer is

acceded to. Captioned WMP is ordered as prayed for.
