He further submits that in view of threat of dissolution, his client needs to be protected by this Court. In support of that, he draws attention of the Court to the letter dated 03.09.2025 issued by the Regional Director, Regional Directorate of Education at Annexure-6. 3. Learned AGA-Mr. Lenka appearing for official OPs opposes the petition contending that the petition is misconceived and that what has been directed in the subject letter is only holding of inquiry with the participation of stakeholders and nothing beyond that. 4.

The same is supported by the text of letter dated 03.09.2025, which is as under: “I am to inform you that an inquiry in to the matter will be conducted by Dr. Jitendra Sahoo, Regional Director of this Directorate on 18.09.2025 at C.B.
