Junior College. 3. Insofar as the second prayer of the petitioners is concerned, the respondent No.2 has complied with the requirements of the petitioners and, as such, the only issue which requires for consideration is the non-registering of the appointment of petitioner No.3 as Secretary and Correspondent and the other filings submitted by the petitioners after 10.06.2025 to till date. 4. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that this Court, while considering a similar issue in W.P.No.13192 of 2021, this Court had directed the respondents to keep on record the filings submitted by the parties, and that the filings submitted by the petitioner therein would be subject to the final decision of the competent Court or arbitrator, as the case may be. 5 HN, J W.P.No.15099_2026 5.

The learned counsel appearing for respondent No.4 submits that respondent No.4 shall maintain the files by taking on record the filings of the petitioners as well as the unofficial respondent No.5; however, the same shall be subject to the outcome of S.R.O.P.No.1 of 2025. 9. Considering these submissions, the present writ petition stands disposed off, directing respondent No.4 to take on record the filings of the petitioners as well as unofficial respondent No.5, and the said filings shall be subject to the outcome of S.R.O.P.No.1 of 2025. It is made clear that taking on record the filings submitted by the either of the parties shall not confer any added weightage for deciding S.R.O.P.No.1 of 2025.
