Sr. No.30 2 WP(C) No.488/2025 2. A bare perusal of order impugned dated 20.02.2025 reveals that the Tribunal after putting the respondents to notice had stayed government order impugned before it bearing No.65-JK(APD) of 2025 dated 31.01.2025 till next date of hearing i.e., 20.03.2025 and directed the Principal Secretary to Government, Agriculture Production Department (respondent No.1) represented by Mr. Dewakar Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, to file objections by 20.03.2025. 3. Since the operation of order impugned before the Tribunal has been stayed till next date of hearing only awaiting objections of the respondents, therefore, we are not inclined to interfere with the order impugned herein passed by the Tribunal. 4. Accordingly, this petition is, disposed of, by providing that the writ petitioner herein, shall file his response before the Tribunal in the main application as well as in the interim application. He shall be also at liberty to lay a motion for modification/alteration/recalling order dated 20.02.2025 before the Tribunal.
