My attention has also been drawn to a judgment of the Division Bench in Kawaljeet Singh & Ors. vs. Guru Nanak Institute of Management and Information Technology & Ors [LPA 386/2024 and connected matters; decided on 28.02.2025], wherein the following directions were issued, in similar circumstances: "14. However, keeping in mind the fact that these writ petitions were in fact pending before the learned Single Judge for a considerable period of time, we dispense with the requirement of the appellants having to file fresh appeals before learned District Judge. They would be entitled to present these writ petitions along with record of this Court before the concerned District judge who would treat them as appeals and decide them accordingly.
15. We may note that learned Counsel for the respondents has fairly consented to this.
16. We request the learned District Judge to decide the writ petitions filed before this Court, treating them as petitions under Section 32(d) of the DSG Act as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six months from the date when the matters are presented before the learned District Judge.
17. Needless to say, should the appellants remain aggrieved by the W.P.(C) 12016/2018 and connected matters Page 2 of 3 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
decision of the District Judge, their rights to challenge the decision as available in law would stand reserved.

20. For this purpose, the record of the writ petitions in electronic form would be provided to learned Counsel for both sides and appellants would be at liberty to present the said writ petitions before the concerned District Judge who would deal with them appropriately." 3.
The present writ petitions are also dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty as aforesaid, and with directions in same terms, as extracted above.
