3 issues framed by the court
Whether the appeal, which appears to have been virtually abandoned by the appellants and filed with significant delay, warrants interference with the order of the learned Single Judge.
Whether the Single Judge's order refusing leave to restore the appeal is maintainable in view of the inactivity and long delay.
Whether stipend enhancement claims filed nearly four years after admission warrant judicial scrutiny in the absence of prior disputes over past payments.
