ORDER

The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

The petitioner must make an application under Order 1 Rule 8 and it is not for the court to see at the
time of admitting the petition whether it is in representative capacity or otherwise, therefore this
writ petition in a representative capacity is not maintainable. As the petition was filed in 1988 the
application under Order 1 Rule 8 should have been made immediately after it was filed and so the
application by the petitioner to adjourn the case to enable the petitioner to take steps under Order 1
Rule 8 is refused. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed.
