Heard counsel for the petitioner.

Admit .

Issue notice to the respondents on interim relief. Additionally issue notice to attorney general ofindia as the validity of the central enactment is put in issue.

By way of ad interim relief, we direct the respondents not to take coercive action against the petitioner with regard to the subject matter referred to in the impugned annexures p/2 to p/5.

We are inclined to grant this order ex parte keeping in mind the orders passed by other high courts (high court of kerala, High Court of Karnataka, High Court of Rajasthan, Bombay High Court and High Court of Orissa).
