BEFORE THE COURT OF LEARNED DISTRICT JUDGE, JAMMU.
Amarjit Singh S/O: Mushoor Singh R/O: H. No. 408-C, Sainik Colony,
Jammu.
(Petitioner)
V/S
Inderjit Kour D/O: Sumpuram Singh W/O: Amarjit Singh R/O: Opposite
Gurudwara Road, Gadi Garh, Jammu.
(Respondent)
IN THE MATTER OF: Petition under section 25 of Guardian and
Wards Act of 1977 for custody of minor baby
Manshin Kour D/O: Amarjit Singh, to the
petitioner.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOUR,
The petitioner most respectfully submits as under:-
1. That the respondent is legally wedded wife of petitioner as the
marriage between the parties was solemnized on 04-11-2007 at
Jammu and out of the wedlock minor baby Manshin Kour was
born on 29-09-2008 at Jammu. Copy of the birth certificate is
enclosed herewith marked as Annexure: A.
2. That respondent was putting up with petitioner peacefully but of
all a sudden she started quarrelling with the petitioner and the
parents of petitioner on lame excuse. It is further submitted that
respondent without any reasonable justification left the
matrimonial fold of the petitioner from September 2010.
Petitioner and his family members have repeatedly approached
the respondent and her parents for sharing the matrimonial
relationship but for one reason or the other respondent has not
agreed to return back to the petitioner’s house.
3. That respondent was conveying to the petitioner that she would
be ready to accompany him if they have reside separately from
the parents of the petitioner. Initially petitioner did not agree to
her suggestion but ultimately once found that she is adamant for
the aforesaid fact, petitioner thought coolly and conveyed the
same to his parents who requested petitioner that let the couple
put up separately otherwise it will destroy their entire family set
up. Petitioner accordingly conveyed the same thing to the
respondent and her parents but then they started laying another
condition that he has to leave the house and put up separately
on rented accommodation in the near vicinity of his in-laws. This
was not agreed by the petitioner and the dead lock started. The
Respondent in order to pressurize petitioner, filed petition under
section 488 Cr.P.C. claiming maintenance for the minor as well
as for herself and the proceedings are pending before the 2 nd
Additional Munsiff, Jammu wherein by way of interim
arrangement the Hon’ble Court directed the petitioner to pay Rs.
1,000/- as interim maintenance to the minor daughter.
4. That in the petition filed by her before the 2 nd Additional Munsiff,
Jammu, it has been repeatedly averded that she is putting in a
miserable condition and is not able to provide any facility to the
minor daughter as she herself is dependent upon the meager
income of her parents. It is further submitted that petitioner
being the natural guardian of minor petitioner Manshin Kour has
been removed from his custody by respondent without his
consent and without his permission. The petitioner being the
natural guardian of the minor baby is entitled to get the custody
of the minor baby as the future of minor baby is unsafe in the
hands of the respondent particularly on the education and health
sector. It is further submitted that the minor baby is to be
admitted in the school in the month of October 2011 as she will
cross three years of age in September 2011 and it is being
conveyed by the respondent to petitioner that she will admit her
in a school where the fee structure is not more than Rs. 20/- per
month. Petitioner was shocked to learnt that her minor baby
would get education in a school which is for the people living
below poverty line and petitioner apprehends that she would not
get good education in the said school and her future would,
therefore, be very very miserable.
5. That the petitioner was allowed to meet his daughter regularly
by the respondents but after filing the petition under section 488
Cr.P.C, they are not allowing the petitioner to meet her
daughter. It is pertinent to mention here that petitioner being the
natural guardian of the minor daughter is supposed to care for
her welfare particularly in education and health sectors and
keeping in view the condition of the respondent as averded by
her the minor baby will suffer on both counts.
6. That petitioner wants to provide all sort of comforts to the
respondent and the minor baby and also wants to provide the
minor baby the best education and is intending to admit her in a
reputed school of Jammu and is also interested in providing all
over facilities for maintaining her health but because of the
denial on the part of the respondent, petitioner is not being
allowed to provide such facilities to the minor baby. Whatever
will happen to the life of the petitioner and the respondent as the
respondent has taken a hard pasture without any right or
reason in order to satisfy her ego but petitioner would never
tolerated that the future of the minor baby is destroyed because
of the madness of the respondent.
7. That petitioner being the father of the minor baby is under social
obligation to provide all basic facilities to the minor daughter and
is also very much anxious and worried about the welfare of the
minor child in case the custody is allowed to remain in the hands
of the respondent. Under the Guardian and Wards Act the
welfare of the child is the paramount consideration which shall
weigh with the Hon’ble Court for allowing the application so that
minor daughter Manshin Kour is handed over to petitioner
without any further delay sothat petitioner as well as the grand-
father and grand-mother of the minor would provide all love and
affection to her as they were provided the same before she was
removed by the respondent from the custody of the petitioner
without any right or reason. It is further submitted that the
Hon’ble Courts while considering such matters have taken care
of the fact that if there is dispute between the couple, the minors
should not suffer. Petitioner would sacrifice his life for the
welfare of the minor daughter and would not left any stone
unturned for shaping the future of the minor daughter Manshin
Kour.
An affidavit in support is enclosed herewith.
It is, therefore, respectfully prayed that keeping in view the
aforesaid submissions and the submissions to be made at the time of
hearing, the application in hand may kindly be allowed and the custody
of the minor daughter Manshin Kour may kindly be handed over to
petitioner so that the petitioner is allowed to shape the future of the
minor baby as the welfare of the minor in the custody of the respondent
is likely to affect her educational, social and health count also.
Any other order which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper
in the circumstances of the case may also be passed in favour of the
petitioner against the respondent.

directing the respondent to handover the

The petitioner most respectfully submits as under: -
1. That the averments made by the petitioner ion the main petition
under section 25 may kindly be treated as the averments of this
application also in order to avoid repetition of the facts.

much interested in her welfare wants to meet her. In these
circumstances justice demands that the respondent may kindly

that petitioner could meet her and at the same time interim

Inderjit Kour & Anr V/S Amarjit Singh
(Petitioners) (Respondent)
Petition under Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act.
IN THE MATTER OF: Objections on behalf of the
respondent.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOUR,
The respondent most respectfully submits as under:-
1. That para No. 1 is admitted to be correct to the
extent of marriage. Rest is vehementally denied.
The respondent and his parents extended love and
affection to the petitioners and treated petitioner
No. 1 as their own daughter. It is pertinent to
mention here that the parents of the respondent are
very much depressed because of the absence of
petitioners particularly petitioner No. 2.
2. That para No. 2 is vehementally denied. Since
respondent is working in a private firm and remains
most of the times outside, therefore, the petitioner
No. 1 has the apprehension that the respondent is
having illicit relations. It is further submitted that
the petitioner No. 1 has not quoted any instance of
any girl or has not mentioned the name of any girl
with whom the respondent is having illicit relations.
This is a bald allegation and can be leveled by any
wife who has deserted the company of her husband
without any right or reason and the same thing
happened with the petitioner No. 1 also.
3. That para No. 3 is vehementally denied. It is further
submitted that petitioner No. 1 has the problem of
remaining in joint family. From the date of her
marriage she started requesting the respondent
that let them put up separately from the parents
but the respondent resisted the suggestion of the
petitioner No. 1 as parents of the petitioner No. 1
having extended all love and affection to her but
without any reason the petitioner No. 1 is not
interested in loving with the parents of the
respondent. The question of misbehaviour by the
parents of the respondent as well as by the
respondent himself is poles apart from the factual
accuracy. The respondent has not himself
misbehaved with the petitioner No. 1 and her
parents nor extended any threatening to them. The
petitioner No. 1 was requested by the respondent
and his parents that in case she wants to put up
separately let the couple put up separately and
thereafter the petitioner No. 1 raised the bogey that
she would not put up separately in the same house
but would prefer the rented accommodation which
was out rightly rejected by the respondent. It is
because of this fact the petitioner No. 1 has filed
the petition only to pressurize the respondent so
that he agrees to have the separate residence in a
rented accommodation. It is pertinent to mention
here that the respondent was also deprived of the
custody of the petitioner No. 2 and has been
forcibly and illegally taken by the petitioner No. 1.
The respondent has already filed a petition under
Guardian and Wards Act for the custody of the
minor child.
4. That para No. 4 is vehementally denied. Since the
marriage has taken place in the year 20907, the
question of beating by the respondent to the
petitioner No. 1 in 2000 is beyond imagination. One
can imagine the truthness in the averment of the
petition.
5. That para No. 5 is admitted to the extent that
Gurudwara Prabandak Committee prevailed upon
the petitioner No. 1 and her parents after finding
fault on them and conveyed them that let the
couple remain peacefully in the matrimonial house.
The committee also found no fault with the
respondent and his parents.
6. That para No. 6 is also vehementally denied.
Respondent was providing all sorts of comforts to
her and the minor child when they reside with the
respondent. It is vehemently denied that the
respondent was not providing any pocket money to
the petitioner No. 1and never conveyed to her that
she should get the expenditure from her father. This
is a lame excuse being manipulated by the
petitioner No. 1 only to claim maintenance and only
to justify her desertion.
7. That para No. 7 is admitted to the extent that
respondent is working in Philips Electricals but is
denied viz-a-viz the pay being drawn by the
respondent. The amount has been shown as the
incentives, TADA, hotel expenditure, to and fro
expenditure, rent etc. which is being spent by the
respondent while performing his duties in the field.
The respondent is supposed to move from one area
to another area and is supposed to remain in the
hotels and even such amount has been included in
the salary of the respondent when the fact remains
that the basic salary of the respondent is Rs.
16,309/-.
8. That para No. 8 is vehementally denied. It is further
submitted that petitioner No. 1 is a working lady
earning monthly income of Rs. ___________ and is
presently working as teacher in _________ B.Ed
College. It is because of her earning she does not
require any maintenance nor any maintenance can
be claimed by her by invoking provisions of Section
488 Cr.P.C. Viz-a-viz petitioner both i.e. petitioner
No. 1 and respondent are jointly liable to maintain
her and for that respondent is ready to pay the
maintenance. The respondent has to spend a lot of
money upon the medical expenditure of the parents
as the parents of the respondent have no source of
income except the income of the respondent who
are totally dependent upon him.
9. That para No. 9 is admitted to the extent that
petitioner No. 1 is residing in her parental house but
she has no cause to desert the company of the
respondent and has deserted the company of the
respondent without any right or reason.
10. That the para No. 10 is admitted to be correct.
11. That para No. 11 is denied for want of knowledge
It is, therefore, respectfully prayed that keeping in
view the above said submissions and the submissions to be
made at the time of hearing, the application in hand may
kindly be dismissed with costs.

no cause to claim maintenance.
3. That para No. 3 is vehementally denied. The
petitioner No. 1 is working in ________ and having
monthly income of Rs. _______, therefore, she being

maintenance.

BRIEF FACTS
That the petitioner has not migrated from Kashmir valley because of
present turmoil. It is further submitted that his wife Davinder Kour
alongwith her two kids migrated from Kashmir valley in the year 1990
against the wishes of the petitioner and for her migration her parental
members including her brother Daljit Singh instigated her to move to safer
place and helped her in having the Ration card for three souls. It is further
submitted that petitioner did not played any part in getting the ration card
of Davinder Kour nor produced himself at any point of time before the
authorities neither produced any documentary evidence to that effect. It is
because of this effort Davinder Kour has been made head of the family
and the ration card was issued for three souls. The strained relations
between the petitioner and his wife Davinder Kour and because of the
intervention of the relations and the members of the Gurudwara
Prabandak Committee, the dispute were settled in the year 2006 and it is
only in 2006, Davinder Kour returned back to the matrimonial fold of the
petitioner. Once she returned back to Kashmir valley in the year 2006, she
immediately surrendered the ration card and from the year 2006 did not
receive any relief from the authorities. Dispute arose between Davinder
Kour and her brother Daljit Singh over the ancestral property and Davinder
Kour filed a complaint before the respondent No. 2 at her back and
respondent No. 2 without providing an opportunity of being heard to her
and without any enquiry and without any show cause notice passed the
impugned order whereby the respondent No. 3 has been directed to affect
the recovery from the salary of the petitioner. The impugned order is being
challenged by the petitioner through the medium of this writ petition on
various grounds. Hence the petition.

(Respondents)
IN THE MATTER OF: Writ petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India read with section 103 of
the Constitution of J&K State for issuance of an
appropriate writ, direction or order.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR LORDSHIPS,
The petitioners most respectfully submit as under: -
1. That the petitioner is a permanent resident of J&K State and
citizen of India, as such, entitled to invoke extra ordinary writ
jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court for enforcement of his legal,
statutory and fundamental rights guaranteed to him under the
Constitution.
2. That the wife of the petitioner alongwith two kids namely
Jaswant Singh (Son) and Rameet Kour (Daughter) migrated
from Kashmir valley in the year 1990 for security reasons like
other similarly situated members of the minority community. It is
further submitted that petitioner did not migrate from Kashmir
valley at any point of time. Petitioner requested his wife
Davinder Kour not to move outside Kashmir valley but for the
reasons best known to her she at the instance of her brother
migrated to Jammu against the consent of the petitioner. The
wife of the petitioner at his back submitted her application form
alongwith two kids for registration under relief category. Though
she has made the mention of the petitioner also in the Ration
Card in the initial stage but immediately the name of the
petitioner has been deleted from the said ration card. It is
because of her migration from Kashmir valley, petitioner and his
wife Davinder Kour virtually separated from each other and
seized to be the wife and husband. The relations between the
parties became so strained that petitioner never paid any heed
towards his kids nor allowed the Davinder Kour to return back to
his matrimonial fold. It is only in the month of 2006, the
relatives of the parties intervened and thereafter the dispute
between the parties was settled by the Gurdwara Prabandak
Committee in the year 2006 itself and requested the petitioner to
share the matrimonial relationship with Davinder Kour and also
allow her to return back to Kashmir valley. It is because of the
compromise entered between the parties by the Gurduwara
Prabandak Committee, Jammu, Davinder Kour alongwith two
kids retuned back to the matrimonial fold of the petitioner and
from the year 2006 petitioner is residing with his wife Davinder
Kour and two kids in Kashmir valley. Copy of the compromise is
Annexure: A
enclosed herewith marked as Annexure: A.
3. That when Davinder Kour returned back to Kashmir valley in the
year 2006 she immediately surrendered the said Ration Card
and did not receive any relief in the shape of cash assistance
and free ration from the year 2006 onwards.
4. That Davinder Kour is having dispute with her brother viz-a-viz
the residential house situated at Nanak Nagar, Jammu wherein
Annexure: B
Davinder Kour is claiming the share of the house being the
ancestral property. It is further submitted that a civil suit is
pending between the Davinder Kour and her brother in the court
of . Copy of the order passed by the court of
in order to authenticate that dispute is pending between
Davinder Kour and her brother is enclosed herewith marked as
Annexure: B.
5. That the respondents were satisfied viz-a-viz the status of
Davinder Kour and two small kids as migrants and after she
returned back to Kashmir valley, surrendered the ration card.
The respondents were satisfied about the genuineness of
Davinder Kour but her brother Daljit Singh filed a complaint
before the respondents that she has illegally drawn the relief as
she was not entitled to get the same because petitioner being
her husband was government employee. It is at the instance of
the said complaint, the respondent No. 2 has passed an order
dated 02-06-2011 addressed to the office of the petitioner for
affecting the recovery of relief drawn by the said Davinder Kour
Annexure: C
to the tune of Rs. 3,29,760/- Copy of the said order is enclosed
Annexure: C
herewith marked as Annexure: C.
Aggrieved by the impugned order as contained in Annexure:
C, petitioner challenges and calls into question the validity of the
said order on various grounds taken alternatively without
prejudice to each other:-
i) That it is an admitted case of the parties that petitioner never
migrated from Kashmir valley and never received any cash
assistance and free ration. It is also an admitted case of the
parties that Davinder Kour alongwith two kids migrated
from Kashmir valley in the year 1990 against the wishes
and consent of the petitioner and it is also an admitted case
of the parties that there were strained relations between
Davinder Kour and petitioner from 1990. it is also an
admitted case of the parties that petitioner’s name does not
figure in the Ration Card of Davinder Kour who had no
alternative but to register herself as migrant because
having no source of income at that point of time. She
deserted the company of the petitioner against his wishes
and that too at the instance of her brother and other family
members from the parental side. Petitioner did not play any
part in issuance of the ration card in favour of Davinder
Kour and once compromise was entered into between the
parties by the Gurdwara Prabandak Committee, the
petitioner agreed to share the matrimonial relationship with
Davinder Kour in the year 2006 and as soon as she
returned back to Kashmir valley for sharing the matrimonial
relationship with her husband, she surrendered the Ration
Card in the year 2006 itself. This fact is being admitted by
the respondents also. It is the complaint filed by her brother
Daljit Singh who is having civil dispute in respect of the
ancestral property of their father viz-a-viz the residential
house at Nanak Nagar, Jammu, false and frivolous
complaint was filed against her an the respondent No. 2
without having enquiry in the matter passed the impugned
order. Such action of the respondents is patently illegal,
laconic, uncalled for, unreasonable, arbitrary in nature
which merits to be corrected by issuance of writ of certiorari
quashing the Order No. 696/DCV/RCM/2011 dated 02-06-
2011 with a further writ of mandamus commanding on
respondent No. 2 and 3 not to affect any recovery from the
petitioner in pursuance of the impugned order as contained
in Annexure: C.
ii) That the impugned order has been passed without any
enquiry and without any show cause notice. It is further
submitted that petitioner has not been issued any notice
viz-a-viz the illegal drawl of cash assistance by his wife
from 1990 to 2006 nor any shown cause notice was issued
to the Davinder Kour. All has been done at their back
without affording an opportunity of being beard and that too
upon the complaint of her brother who is having civil
dispute before the court of viz-a-viz the
residential house and other immovable property of their
father Chater Singh. The respondent No. 2 was supposed
to have the detailed enquiry in the matter and provide
opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as
Davinder Kour before passing of the impugned order. Such
order is patently violative of Article 14 and 16 of the
Constitution and on this ground also the impugned action of
the respondents merits to be corrected as prayed above.
iii) That since Davinder Kour is putting up separately from her
husband at Jammu against the wishes of the petitioner and
from 1990 to 2006 petitioner was not having any link with
wife and kids and it is because of this fact the said
Davinder Kour has been made head of the family in the
Ration Card issued by the respondent No. 2. It is pertinent
to mention here that in the year 2006 itself amnesty policy
was issued by the Government as well as the respondents
and all migrants were asked to surrender their illegal ration
cards voluntarily with an assurance that even though the
ration cards are found to be fraudulent and fake one, no
action would be initiated against them nor any recovery
proceedings shall be proceeded against them. Had
Davinder Kour having illegal ration card, she could have
easily got the benefit of the amnesty policy but the fact
remains that she was having strained relations with
petitioner and being the genuine migrant of Kashmir valley
from the year 2006, she was fully eligible and entitled to
receive the cash assistance and free ration. It is further
submitted that petitioner never applied to the respondents
for issuance of D-Form and never produced any other
document before them for registering him as a migrant or
helped Davinder Kour in having the registration before
respondents. In the year 1990 it was the Daljit Singh her
brother who helped her for the registration and also helped
her to get the genuine Ration Card and it is only Daljit
Singh who thereafter filed complaint against her for
affecting the recovery because of the civil dispute viz-a-viz
their ancestral property. Had the respondents particularly
respondent No. 2 issued any show cause notice to the
petitioner or Davinder Kour, petitioner or Davinder Kour
would have satisfied the respondents about the illegality
committed or there was no fraud played by the petitioner.
On this sole ground the impugned order merits to be
corrected as prayed above.
iv) That petitioner is presently mentally sick and is suffering from
acute Nero problem. Petitioner is at the verge of retirement
and by the present impugned order it is added to his
disease and virtually petitioner has been rendered crippled.
Copies of the medical prescription are enclosed herewith
Annexure: D
marked as Annexure: D. It is further submitted that said
Daljit Singh who happens to be the brother-in-law of the
petitioner has caused mental harassment and torture to the
family of the petitioner and the respondent No. 2 at his
instance have passed the impugned order which can not
sustain under law. Such order is patently against law, fact
and justice, therefore, merits to be corrected as prayed
above.
2. That there is no efficacious remedy available to the petitioner
but to invoke extra ordinary writ jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court.
3. That no identical writ petition has been filed by the petitioner
before any Court, Tribunal, Supreme Court except the present

SWP NO. 1565/2010
IN THE MATTER OF: CMP on behalf of Tariq Hussain S/O: Gh.
Mohi-ud-Din R/O: Muksiyas Malath, Tehsil
Gandoh Distt. Doda Age 25 years for arraying
him as respondent No. 6 in the aforesaid writ
petition.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR LORDSHIPS,
The proposed respondent most respectfully submits as under:
1. That the respondents issued advertisement notice for filling up
two posts of RET teachers in NPS Muksiyas. Various
candidates including proposed respondents applied for the said
posts. After proper scrutiny of application forms of all eligible
candidates including petitioner, respondent No. 5 and proposed
respondent No. 6 were called for interview. The respondents
thereafter prepared merit list of the candidates and finally
recommended two candidates i.e. proposed respondent who is
figuring at Sr. No. 1 and the respondent No. 5. Copy of the penal
is enclosed herewith marked as Annexure: R1.
2. That petitioner herein has challenged the selection of
respondent No. 5 by way of writ petition No. 1565/2010 and the
Hon’ble Court was pleased to direct the respondents not to
operate the penal as contained in Annexure: R1. Copy of the
order passed by this Hon’ble Court is enclosed herewith marked
as Annexure: R2.
3. That neither the petitioner nor the respondent No. 5 is aggrieved
of the selection of the proposed respondent, nobody has
challenged his selection nor they are aggrieved of the selection
of the proposed respondent because both of these candidates
know that proposed respondent is meritorious and fully eligible
and entitled to be appointed as RET Teacher against one of the
vacancy. The proposed respondent approached the authorities
that since the stay granted by this Hon’ble Court relates to the
respondent No. 5 only and there is no stay against the proposed
respondent, requested them to issue the appointment order in
his favour but the respondents show inability to issue the
appointment order in favour of the proposed respondent on the
ground that the penal has been stayed. The proposed
respondent requested the respondents that once the selection of
the proposed respondent is not under challenge, the stay shall
be treated viz-a-viz the respondent No. 5 only as it is settled law
that any order passed in the aforesaid writ petition may bind the
parties to the lis. The respondents did not agree with the
suggestion of the proposed respondent and, therefore, in the
aforesaid compelling circumstances, the proposed respondent is
approaching this Hon’ble Court in order to clarify the position
that whether the stay granted by this Hon’ble Court is operative
against his interests or not. It is because of this circumstances,
the proposed respondent has became proper and necessary
party and wants to be arrayed at respondent No. 6 so that he is
also herd in the writ petition after filing the objections and other
documentary evidence. If the application for arraying proposed
respondent is not allowed, it would definitely effect his rights and
would accordingly be deprived of his selection without any right
or reason.
4. That in SWP No. 1827/2004 titled Dal Singh & Ors V/S State &
Ors wherein selection of the private respondent was stayed. In
addition to the said respondents there were other candidates in
the penal and the respondents also applied, stay granted,
respondents approached to the Hon’ble Court whose selection
was not under challenge. It is further submitted that the
candidates whose selection was not under challenge
approached this Hon’ble Court for arraying them as respondents
and accordingly applications were allowed and were arrayed as
respondents. Thereafter the Hon’ble Court passed an order
which is reproduced herein below:-
“ According to the petitioners, petitioners Learned
Counsel, the petitioners have not questioned of selection of
Zahida Banu who had figured at Sr. No. 4 in the first penal
and at Sr. No. 6 in the second penal for one of the posts of
Rehaber-E-Taleem Teachers available at Middle School/
Primary School Alni Gangota. That this view of matter, the
interim stay issued by this Court directing the State
respondents not to make appointment of RET in Village Alni,
needs to be left in so far as it operates in the
consideration of Zahida Banu for her engagement as RET”.
It is further submitted that same situation is prevailing
in the present case and requires to be dealt on the same
analogy.
Copy of the said order is enclosed herewith marked as
Annexure: R3.
An affidavit in support is enclosed herewith.
It is, therefore, respectfully prayed that keeping in view the
aforesaid circumstances, the CMP may kindly be allowed and the
applicant may kindly be arrayed as respondent No. 6 in the aforesaid
writ petition with a further prayer that thereafter petition may kindly be
heard so that clarification is issued to the respondents that the stay
granted by this Hon’ble Court would not ifsofacto applicable to the
selection of the proposed respondent No. 6.
Any other order which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and
proper in the circumstances of the case may also be passed in favour
of the proposed respondent.
