JUSTICE R.DEVDAS) Learned counsel for the contesting respondent No.6 submits that the petitioner in this writ petition was aggrieved of the fact that the Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal had not passed any interim order on the interim prayer made by the petitioner in the application. However, this Court has passed an interim order on 11.06.2025 and therefore the learned counsel submits that the interim order passed by this Court may be directed to continue till the Tribunal hears the parties on the application itself or till the Tribunal hears any application that could be filed by the respondent No.6 seeking to vacate the interim order. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of directing that the interim order passed by this Court shall continue till disposal of the application before the Tribunal - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:8308-DB WP No. 103654 of 2025 or till consideration of any application that could be filed by the 6th respondent for vacating the interim order.
