In light of the directions made by the co-ordinate Bench in W.P.No.6708/2025 and connected matters, it is submitted that the matter may be remitted to the same stage.

ordinate bench of this Court in Writ Appeal Nos.461/2016 and 39/2024. In the event the SLAO is to consider the objections, the said interpretation by the Writ Court would be binding on the SLAO and prejudice the case of the petitioner.

¶270

6. In response, Sri.Shashi Kiran Shetty., learned Senior counsel submits that the Court may direct the SLAO to consider the objections already filed and the additional objections, if any to be filed, without being influenced by the interpretation of the Circulars by the learned Single Judge and also in consonance with the judgment of the Hon'ble Division Judge of this Court in W.A.Nos.461/2016 and 39/2024.

¶271

7. In view of the submission of learned Senior counsel Sri.Shashi Kiran Shetty., nothing survives further to consider the case of the appellants. In that view of the matter, while upholding the judgment of the writ Court, we observe that the SLAO has to consider the objections already filed and the additional objections if any to be filed independently without being influenced by the interpretation of the writ Court on the circulars, in accordance with the law.
