JUDGMENT

[Delivered by The Hon'ble CHIEF JUSTICE] Though number of grounds have been raised in the appeal challenging the correctness of the order passed by the learned Single Judge, from the order passed by the learned Single Judge, it is seen that the learned Single Judge has not decided the matter on merits, but only directed representation to be considered and order has also been passed on 22.07.2025.

We are, therefore, not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the learned Single Judge.

2. The Writ Appeal is, accordingly, dismissed with liberty to the appellants to challenge the order dated 22.07.2025. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. [MANINDRA MOHAN SHRIVASTAVA, C.J.] [R.POORNIMA, J.] 14.10.2025 NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No smn2 To:
