Most of the appeals are belated.

¶62

Learned counsel for the respondents has placed before us the order passed by this Court in D.B. Special Appeal Writ No.683/2025-Director, College Education Vs. Managing Committee and Ors. decided on 29.08.2025, wherein following order has been passed:

¶63

“1.The appeal being belated, an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act has been filed, wherein it is stated that the delay has occurred as on analyzing the facts and circumstances of each institution, it was found that they were already having the advantage of excess grant-in-aid and after making due assessment of the years-long record of the institutions, it was found that the learned Single Judge was erroneous in that sense and the impugned order is thereby required to be assailed.

¶64

2. We find the reasons to be wholly misconceived. The order dated 08.07.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge impugned before us in the appeal, is a consent order and it would be apposite to quote the order as under:-

¶65

"Since the issue involved in these writ petitions is common, they are being tagged.

¶66

As agreed and requested by the learned counsels for the respective parties, these writ petitions are disposed of in terms of order dated 17.02.2022 passed by this Court in S.B. Review Petition (Writ) No.300/2017 in SB Civil Writ Petition No.1556/2017: Managing Committee, S.S. Jain Subodh Shiksha Samiti & Anr. versus Om Prakash Verma & Anr. and other connected matters and modified by this Court vide order dated 14.10.2022 passed in S.B. Writ Miscellaneous Application No.226/2022 in SB Civil Writ Petition No.8665/2019: Managing Committee, Shri Pragya Mahavidyalaya, Bijainagar, Ajmer & Anr. versus Dr. Chandra Prakash Gupta & Anr. and other connected matters.

¶67

Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. "

¶68

3. In view of above, we find that the learned Single Judge has only relied on the earlier orders passed and that to on the consent given by the counsel for the appellant, no error
