..... y to that writ petition. It further appears that the judgment in that writ petition was reserved by the Division Bench of this Court on 16-3-2000, Thus the application under Article 226 read with Order 1 Rule 10 CPC was filed by the petitioner-Society after the judgment was re-served by the Division Bench of the Court. It further appears that the said application was not considered and decided by the Division Bench of this Court while-passing the Judgment dated 8-5-2000 in that writ petition and that application remained pending.

Thus, from the above directions/observations, i': cannot reasonably be inferred or gathered that the right of the petitioner-society has been affected in any manner.
