M.M KUMAR, ACJ. This is an appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent against the interlocutory order dated 13.9.2011. The P.D Memorial Religious Educational Association,Sarai Aurangabad had filed the writ petition seeking a direction to convert the Girls College of Engineering to Co-Educational Institute as their application was declined. The appellant had stated before the learned Single Judge that they fulfill all the relevant norms and criteria for conversion to a Co-Educational college. The matter is pending before the learned Single Judge. Notice of motion has been issued for 4.10.2011. The grievance made before us is that the learned Single Judge has declined the prayer for provisional admission to male students on the ground that the grant of interim relief would amount LPA No. 1841 of 2011 2 to granting final relief as claimed in the writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel, we are of the considered view that without first quashing the order passed by the respondent declining the request to convert the Girls college to a Co- Educational college, it is not possible to allow admission of male students in that institution. The matter is alive before the learned Single Judge and the discretion has been rightly exercised. Accordingly the appeal fails and the same is dismissed.
