(1.)After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the impugned order dated 9-8-2002 affects a large number of dealers and distributors all over the country which has led to the filing of the writ petitions in different High Courts, it is appropriate that the legal points in issue should be decided expeditiously. This can best be done by representative cases being transferred to this Court for adjudication.
