UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

Issue notice.

As Mr. Gaurav Agarwal, learned counsel has entered

appearance on behalf of Mr. Ajay Marathe, the respondent
No.1, no further notice need be issued to him. Mr. Nishant
Ramakantrao Katneshwarkar, learned counsel has entered
appearance on behalf of the State of Maharashtra.

Mr. C.U. Singh, learned senior counsel being

assisted by Mr. Sahil Monga, learned counsel has entered
appearance on behalf of the intervenor who was heard in the
High Court. Hence, no further notice need be issued. As far
as the other respondents are concerned, issue notice fixing a
returnable date within two weeks. Dasti, in addition, is
permitted.

As an interim measure, it is directed that there

shall be stay of the operation of the order dated
1st September, 2017, passed by the High Court of Judicature at
Bombay in Public Interest Litigation (Stamp) No.24110 of 2017
and Writ Petition No.9508 of 2017. As we have stayed the
operation of the impugned order, we are absolutely certain
that the High Court shall not pass any further interim order
in this regard.

Let the matter be listed on 22nd September, 2017.
