For The Petitioner : Mr. Balbeer Singh, Senior Advocate with Mr. Alok Yadav, Mr. Sameer Jain, Ms. Mahi Yadav Ms. Pragya Sethia For The Department : Ms. Tanvi Sahai on behalf of Mr. R.B. Mathur, BY THE COURT: These petitions agitate an identical issue and are therefore being decided by a common order. The facts are taken from SBCWP No.7038/2016.
