Impugned order is challenged by the petitioner-University on the ground that same is not only non-speaking but was passed without affording a reasonable opportunity of hearing to the petitioner who was duly represented before the Tribunal through counsel. 3. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned order, we find that the interim order impugned does not find mention of any of the submissions made by Mr. S.M. Ayoub, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner-University. 4. The order also sans reasons for showing indulgence in staying the transfer. The impugned interim order is therefore patently in violation of principles of natural justice, and, therefore, cannot sustain. 5. This petition is accordingly allowed and order impugned dated 19.08.2025, passed by the Tribunal is set aside. 6. The Tribunal shall consider the prayer of the respondent for interim relief afresh after providing reasonable opportunity of hearing to the petitioner-University. 7.
