(2.) Although, the respondent Nos. 7 to 19 have been subsequently impleaded, but as their interest and contention would be same as that of the respondent Nos. 5 and 6 and the respondent Nos. 5 and 6 having filed the required interlocutory application for vacating the interim order and the said respondent Nos. 7 to 19 being represented by the same counsel, namely, Shri J.
