Radhakrishnan, J

Similar issue came up before this court in W.A.1132/06 and

other connected cases. This court by its judgment dated 18th

August, 2007 allowed those appeals and set aside the judgments

of the learned Single Judge.

2. There is a delay of 744 days in filing W.A.2460/07 and

523 days in filing W.A.2450/07. In both these cases, cogent

reasons have been stated by the State for condoning the delay

and hence we condone the delay and allow these two appeals

since the common judgment rendered by the learned Single Judge

has already been reversed. Writ appeals are therefore stand

allowed, and the Judgment of the Learned Single Judge is set

aside.

In such circumstances, this writ appeal is allowed.
