RAVINDRANATH, AGA FOR R1 & R2) THIS WP IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO a) CALL FOR THE RECORDS OF APPLICATION NO.740/205 ON THE FILE OF THE HONBLE KARNATAKA STATE ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL, BENGALURU AND ETC. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE KRISHNA S DIXIT and HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMACHANDRA D. HUDDAR ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE KRISHNA S DIXIT) Petitioner is grieving before the Writ Court against the refusal of interim protection by the Tribunal in his pending Application No.740/2025. Learned Counsel for the petitioner argues that if the appointment orders are issued, his pending application would become infructuous. Learned AGA on request appearing for the official respondents submits and we agree with the same that any appointment shall be subject to lis pendens and if the petitioner succeeds, such appointments may be set at naught. It hardly needs to be stated that selection & - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:10897-DB WP No. 6694 of 2025 appointment in public employment should not be readily halted by courts and Tribunals. In the above circumstances, this petition being devoid of merits, is liable to be and accordingly dismissed, costs having been made easy. However, we request the Hon'ble Tribunal to take up this matter bit expeditiously, consistent with the rule of speedy justice being a constitutional mandate. All contentions in this regard are kept open. Sd/- (KRISHNA S DIXIT) JUDGE Sd/- (RAMACHANDRA D. HUDDAR) JUDGE DH List No.: 1 Sl No.: 10 CT:SNN
