Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that by an order dated July 29, 2026, this Court has set aside the order assigning the duty of implementation of the Annapurna Yojona as well as the training for the Census-2027 issued by the respondent authorities taking into consideration that the 2 petitioners are pursuing their D.El.Ed course as a regular student for the year 2025-2027.
