Mr.Vivek Sharma, Advocate, for respondents No.5 and 8. *** Ranjan Gogoi, ACJ. (Oral) Against the refusal of interim relief to admit 60 number of students against 60 vacant seats available in the Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha Educational Society, the writ petitioner-appellant had moved this appeal wherein the following interim order was passed:- “In the meantime, the petitioner will be permitted to participate in the counselling and the University will allocate the students to the petitioner-College, but the petitioner-Institution shall not formally admit the students till the next date of hearing. However, we make it clear that the interim L.P.A.No.1434 of 2010 -2- order is not to be taken as an expression of opinion in respect of dispute pending between the petitioner and respondents No.4 and 5 which is subject matter of Civil Writ Petition No.15769 of 2009. We are also of the view that the writ petition filed by the petitioner bearing No.13522 of 2010 and other writ petition No.15761 of 2010 shall be heard together by the learned Single Judge and the learned Single Judge may decide those petitions irrespective of the pendency of this L.P.A. and any order passed in this L.P.A. which only relates to an interim order. It is further made clear that the students seeking admission in the petitioner's college be informed that the matter is pending in the Court and their admission will be subject to the final decision of the writ petitions.” The aforesaid order was reiterated in an interim order dated 30.11.2010 passed in this LPA. It is stated at the Bar that pursuant to the aforesaid order, 60 students have been allocated to the College who, though had not been formally admitted yet in view of the interim order of this Court in the LPA, are attending their classes. The examination of the students are slated sometime in the month of September, 2011. In the aforesaid circumstances, we are of the view that it would be expedient to dispose of this appeal in terms of the interim directions L.P.A.No.1434 of 2010 -3- quoted above with a request to the learned Single Judge to hear and dispose of the writ petition at the earliest. Learned counsel for the parties are permitted to make a mention of the matter before the learned Single Judge.
