This Court is informed that identical issue is pending before the Principal Seat in a group of Petitions challenging the same Government Circular. It would be appropriate if an administrative order is obtained for transferring the present Petition to the Principal Seat, so that there can be uniform adjudication of the issue. 2. Learned counsel for the Petitioner, on instructions, seeks time to obtain an order on the administrative side for transfer of the present Arya Chavan 1 of 2 2026:BHC-KOL:8908-DB 35-IA-1392-2026.doc Petition to the Principal Seat. 3. By the present Interim Application, the Applicants seek directions to Respondent Nos. 2 to 4, Shivaji University, to declare the results of the Applicants for the examinations held during March-April 2026, which have been withheld, and for directions to the colleges to grant admission to the Applicants and accept the scholarship forms. 4. Though, the Interim Application seeks number of reliefs, we are inclined to only consider prayer clause (a) as regards the declaration of the Applicant’s results. As the Petitioners were permitted to appear for the examination, there can be no objection to the declaration of the results. 5. Interim Application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) subject to further orders and outcome of the Petition. “(a). This Hon’ble Court be pleased to direct the Respondent No. 02 to 04 Shivaji University to Declare the Result of present applicants, Results of Examinations which were held during March – April 2026.” [NEERAJ P.
