It appears that the Full Bench judgment was not placed before the learned co-ordinate Bench of this Court. The observations of the learned co-ordinate Bench in paragraph '17' on which learned counsel for the petitioners has relied upon would not help him on the face of the views of the Hon'ble Full Bench in case of Dipendra Nath Sarkar (supra). 14.
