CM No.2771-LPA of 2014

For the reasons mentioned in the application, the same is allowed subject to all just exceptions and the documents (Annexures A-1 & A-2) are taken on record.

CM stands disposed of.

LPA No.1188 of 2014.

This letters patent appeal is directed against an interlocutory order dated 19.05.2014 passed by the learned Single Judge in a pending writ petition.

It may be true that vide the impugned order the learned Single Judge has granted a part of the substantial relief prayed for in the main case but we are not inclined to interfere with the same as it would necessitate the expression of views on merits of the case. Such a recourse is likely to be prejudicial to either of the parties. Since the last date to admit the students is statedly 31.08.2014 and the main case is listed before the learned Single Judge on 29.08.2014, we grant liberty to the appellants to seek pre-ponement of the date, if need be, subject to the convenience of the learned Single Judge. Having regard to all the attending circumstances, we request the learned Single Judge to make an endeavour to decide the main case, ignoring the prima-facie observations made in the interim orders dated 12.7.2013 and 19.5.2014, at the earliest as it would serve the cause of both the parties.

The appeal stands disposed of in above terms. Dasti.
