The delay in preferring the appeal is not opposed by learned counsel for the respondents. Accordingly, IA No.1/2025 is allowed and delay in filing the appeal stands condoned. 3. The order impugned in this appeal is dated 10.01.2025. By the said order, the learned Single Judge has directed the Director of Education to examine the repeated disturbances that are being caused on account of allegations and counter allegations, which appear to have bearing on the administration and taking into account the welfare of the students and the purpose and objective of the Managing Committee and the staff, the learned Single has deemed it necessary to direct an inquiry and submission of a report in 1 2025:UHC:9175-DB a sealed envelope before the learned Single Judge. The order is passed on 10.01.2025. The appellant has accepted the order and did not deem it necessary to appeal the same. Now, probably the report being adverse, the appeal is filed as an afterthought. 4. As the report has already been filed, we do not deem it appropriate to intervene at this stage. The appellant having not been diligent in dealing with the order and having slept over the same, the petitioner cannot now be permitted to turn around at the end moment and use the forum of appeal as a preemptive mechanism. 5. In that view, we dispose of the appeal without expressing any opinion on the merits of the order. 6. We request the learned Single Judge to expedite hearing of the petition as it could have a cascading effect on the administration of the institution and the students and in turn on the institution in general. We request the learned Single Judge to consider an expeditious hearing and dispose of the petition within eight weeks. (G. NARENDAR, C. J.) (SUBHASH UPADHYAY, J.) Dated: 14.10.2025 SS 2
