Ajay Tewari, J.—Notice of motion.

Ms. Kavita Arora, learned AAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondents.

Learned counsel for the petitioners undertakes to supply seven copies of the petition to the learned AAG during the course of the day failing

which this order shall be automatically recalled and the writ petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed for non-prosecution.

Having regard to the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to call upon the respondents to file their counter-reply

In these circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of in the same terms as in CWP No.2208 of 1989.
