The argument of the learned Advocate General that a question of law arises for final determination by this Court, is clearly supported. We accordingly grant leave to appeal as prayed.
2. A prayer is made for stay of the direction of the Full Bench that the cases concerned be returned to the Division Benches which are seized of them for disposal in accordance with the view expressed by the Full.
