It was further observed that the defendant/petitioner is always at liberty to follow the prescribed procedure as per the Regulations. It was held that the plaintiff, under those circumstances, would be entitled to raise this plea and the decision is to be taken by the defendant as per the Regulations. It was further observed that in case the decision is passed against the plaintiff after due process is followed, it is always open to the defendant(s) to file an application for vacating the interim order, in view of change of circumstances, under Order XXXIX Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure and the plaintiff would be entitled to contest the same on merits under those circumstances.
