Special leave dismissal leaves the legal question open while limiting the High Court order to the named respondent.

The special leave petition was dismissed after the Court declined to interfere on the facts, but the substantive question of law was expressly left open for future consideration. The dismissal therefore did not amount to an adjudication on the contested legal issue. The Court also clarified that the High Court's order would operate only in respect of the respondent and would not extend to or affect any other person, limiting the order's effect to the parties before the High Court.
