JUDGMENT
D.N. PATEL, CHIEF JUSTICE (ORAL)
Proceedings have been conducted through video conferencing.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Appellants submits that present appeal has been preferred against an interim order dated 15.09.2021 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P. (C) 10293/2021, which is now listed for final hearing on 08.10.2021. The Appellants, therefore, do not wish to press the appeal at this stage and seek liberty to challenge the final order in the writ petition in case the need so arises.
Since the Appellants do not wish to press the appeal at this stage, we deem it appropriate to dispose of the same, as not pressed. Needless to state
2021:DHC:3179-DB
LPA 333/2021 that in case the Appellants are aggrieved by the final order, they always have the liberty to challenge the same, in accordance with law.
It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case between the parties.
Appeal is accordingly disposed of along with the pending application.
CHIEF JUSTICE
