No. 10611 of 2025 1) For the reason set out in the application dully supported by the affidavit of the applicant, we find sufficient cause to 2025:JHHC:38548-DB condone the delay of 01 day that has crept up in filing the appeal. 2) Ordered accordingly. 3) I.A. No. 10611 of 2025 stands disposed of. L.P.A. No. 118 of 2025 4) Heard. 5) The instant letters patent appeal is directed against the interim order passed by the learned writ court dated 10.01.2025 whereby the prayer made by the petitioner/appellant for stay of the impugned order has been declined by the learned writ court on the pretext that the same would amount to allowing the writ petition itself, given the fact that this is the main relief as claimed in the writ petition. 6) However, we see no reason to interfere with such finding, given the fact that the State and University have not even filed the counter affidavits and have been granted opportunities vide the aforesaid order to do the needful within six weeks and the petitioner would want the court to render a finding without adjudicating upon the matter and without the defence of the opposite parties coming on record. 7) We fully agree with the findings recorded by the learned writ court that staying the impugned order at this stage would virtually amount to allowing the writ petition itself. 2025:JHHC:38548-DB 8) Consequently, we see no merit in this appeal, the same is accordingly dismissed. 9) Pending Interlocutory Application, if any, stands disposed of.
