In this judgment, the petitioners expressed apprehension that the Appellate Authority might disallow their appeal based on a writing dated December 11, 2017, by the Advocate for the petitioners. The State, represented by the Additional Advocate General, argued that the decision of the Appellate Authority, awaited since the hearing on December 7, 2017, renders the writ petition premature. The State highlighted that a previous order dated September 4, 2017, allowed the petitioners to prefer an appeal, which has not been challenged.

The judge found no merit to interfere in the present writ petition due to the pending decision of the Appellate Authority. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed without any order as to costs. The parties were directed to obtain urgent website certified copies of the order upon fulfilling the necessary formalities.
