JUDGMENT: (per Manoj Kumar Gupta, C.J.) 1. The instant intra court appeal is directed against an interim order dated 14.10.2025, passed in WPMS No. 2895 of 2025, by which, the learned Single Bench has stayed the order of suspension of the non- appellant no.1 (hereinafter to be referred as writ petitioner) as Pramukh of Block Bhagwanpur, District Haridwar. The learned Single Judge has noted that on a previous occasion also on complaint of the appellant, a preliminary inquiry was held and in which, the petitioner was given a clean chit but subsequently, another inquiry was ordered and only for placing the writ petitioner under suspension certain material was fished out and on basis thereof adverse report was 1 2026:UHC:1538-DB submitted. Consequently, the contention that the suspension order was a result of malice has appealed to the Court for granting an interim protection to the writ petitioner. 2. Shri Shobhit Saharia, learned counsel for the appellant submits that the order of learned Single Judge amounts to granting final relief and, therefore, the present appeal would be maintainable. 3. We are not ready to accept the submission. The order passed by learned Single Judge does not decide rights of any party nor even any matter of moment finally. It is a purely interlocutory order and, in case, the appellant feels aggrieved thereby, it is open to the appellant to apply for vacation of the interim order. 4. At this stage, learned counsel for the appellant submits that the State Government is not passing any final order although liberty in this regard was reserved in favour of the State Government vide paragraph 8 of the order. 2 2026:UHC:1538-DB 5. In that regard, we only observe that it shall be open to the appellant to apply for clarification before learned Single Judge, if so advised. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. 6. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of. (MANOJ KUMAR GUPTA, C.J.) (SUBHASH UPADHYAY, J.) Dated: 10.03.2026 Kaushal 3
