The Supreme Court dismissed the petitioners' leave to appeal against the order of the High Court, which had admitted the respondents' Constitutional petition for regular hearing and granted interim relief. The Court observed that the legal position had been established by a prior judgment and that the petitioners would have the opportunity to present their case before the High Court. Therefore, the Supreme Court found no grounds to interfere with the impugned order. The petitioners were reminded that the High Court should dispose of the case expeditiously. |
