Justice Moksha Kazmi disposed of the plea of Mattu with the direction to the DC Srinagar to hear the parties and conclude the proceedings and decide the appeal pending before him by tomorrow.
“The copy of the decision shall be provided to the counsel for the appellant on the same day, enabling him to work out his remedy. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the main case”, Justice Kazmi ordered.
