O R D E R

% 14.05.2018 Vide the present petition, the petitioners have sought a direction to the respondents to decide the petitioner no.1/college's appeal dated 03.02.2018 challenging the withdrawal order dated 08.01.2018 passed by respondent no.2.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are only seeking a direction to the respondents to keep the operation and effect of the withdrawal order dated 08.01.2018 in abeyance till a final decision is taken on the petitioner no.1's appeal. He also places reliance on order dated 19.06.2017 passed by a coordinate Bench of this Court in W.P.(C) No.5311/2017 titled as Lord Krishna Institute for Education vs. National Council for

Teacher Education & Anr.

Ms.Arunima Dwivedi, learned counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioner no.1's appeal dated 03.02.2018 has been received by respondent no.1 and will be taken up for hearing as expeditiously as possible.

Having considered the submissions of learned counsels for the parties, I find that the petitioner no.1 has been running for last more than 12 years and grave and irreparable prejudice would be caused to the petitioners, in case, the operation of the withdrawal order is not stayed, till a final decision taken by the respondent no.1 on its pending appeal. Accordingly, the writ petition alongwith pending application, is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to decide the petitioner no.1's appeal dated 03.02.2018 in an expeditious manner preferably within eight weeks. In view of the peculiar fact of the present case, it is directed that till a final decision is taken by respondent no.1 on the petitioner no.1's appeal, the operation of the order dated 08.01.2018 will remain stayed.

Needless to say, in case, the petitioners are aggrieved by the decisions taken by the respondents, it will be open for the petitioners to take all legal recourse as permissible under law. Dasti under the signature of Court Master.
