This matter came up for admission hearing before Court on 11-6-2001 on which date, Rule was issued making by it returnable on 3-7-2001, and ad interim relief, in terms of Para 5(C) was granted till then. Thereafter, on 28-8-2001, interim relief was extended upto 6-9-2001. From perusal of original record, it appears that ad interim relief has not been extended thereafter. Not only that, no such request was made on behalf of the State for extension of ad interim relief.
