Holding
The composite writ petition is not maintainable in its present form.
Summary
The petitioners filed a writ petition challenging two separate orders in a single composite petition. The Court examined whether such a composite filing was maintainable. It held that the petition, in its present form, was not maintainable because it combined two distinct proceedings. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, granting the petitioners liberty to file separate fresh petitions for each order. No substantive merits of the orders were addressed.
