MUNIR A. SHEIKH, ACTG. C.J.‑‑‑By this common judgment, we intend to decide Civil Petitions Nos.484, 486 and 487‑L of 1999 involving identical questions of law and facts.

2. In the Constitutional petitions filed by the petitioners, learned Judge of High Court through the impugned order dated 6‑4‑1999 called the learned Deputy Attorney‑General and handed over to him copies of the said petitions for tiling comments and the cases were ordered to be listed on 19‑4‑1999.

3. Learned Advocate‑on‑Record stated that he has been asked by Mr. M.N. Beg, learned counsel for the petitioners through his Clerk to seek adjounrment though neither the petitioners themselves nor the learned counsel contacted him.

4. We are not inclined to adjourn the cases. Through the order impugned in these petitions, the learned Judge of the High Court had not decided in any manner directly or indirectly the controversy raised by the petitioners in the Constitutional petitions.

5. The order is interim‑ in nature and does not amount even to a judicial adjudication of any dispute or point raised in the Constitutional petitions, therefore, in our discretion, under Article 185 of the Constitution, we are not inclined to interfere in the same at this stage.
