However, keeping in view the fact that the aforementioned order passed by this Court is sub-judice before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents that whatever will be the final outcome of the SLP, the same shall be applied in the case of the petitioners as well. No costs.” In view of the above, the students studying in the petitioner- Institutions cannot be denied the concessional passes by the respondents.
