1. Application for permission to file the special leave petitions is allowed.

3. We consider it just and appropriate to direct the Registry of the Gauhati High Court to post Writ Petition (Civil) No. 9 of 2016, after obtaining the permission of Hon’ble the Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court, for hearing before a Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court on 22.02.2016. We would request the High Court to expeditiously dispose of the writ petition, preferably within two weeks.
