Markandey Katju, C.J.1. This writ appeal is filed against the impugned judgment of the learned single Judge dated 11.11.2002. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the records.2. The appellant was respondent No. 4 in the writ petition, but without even issuing notice to the appellant the writ petition was disposed off with a direction to the authority to make an enquiry into the complaints made by the writ petitioner.3.
