2) While issuing notice on 09.05.2025, this Court stayed the operation of order of the Division Bench dated 29.04.2025, meaning thereby that the order of status quo, as directed by the Single Judge on 24.04.2025 has become operational.

¶15

3) Since for the last more than six months this petition is pending before this Court, however, in our view, in the facts and circumstances of the case, it would be appropriate to set aside the order passed by the Division Bench maintaining the order of status quo, as directed by learned Single Judge, with a request to the Single Judge to decide the Writ Petition as expeditiously as possible. 4) Parties are left open to raise all the contention as are available to them.

¶16

5) With the aforesaid observations, the special leave petition stands disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.=

¶17

In view of the aforesaid, this appeal has been rendered infructuous, which is, accordingly, hereby disposed of in terms of the aforesaid order passed by Hon9ble Supreme Court.
