Therefore, by the order under appeal, the learned Judge also made it clear that any proceedings taken pursuant to Ext.P5 would be subject to the result of the writ petition. In the circumstances, we do not see any reason WA No. 495 of 2011 -:2:- to interfere with the order under appeal. The Writ Appeal is dismissed at the admission stage. J.Chelameswar, Chief Justice.
