To us, the order appears to be quite innocuous. Since the matter is still under consideration before the learned single Judge and is directed to be listed next week, any observation made by us in the present appeal will 2. 2 HCJ & RC,J WA_72_2025 affect the merits of the case pending before the learned single Judge. We do not find it a good case for interference in the order impugned. 3. The Writ Appeal is found to be without merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/- K TATA RAO SECTION OFFICER 1 //TRUE COPY// To 1. One CC to Sri G. Tuhin Kumar, Advocate [OPUC] 2.
