                                                     COMMON JUDGMENT
                                            (Delivered by the Hon'ble Chief Justice)



                                  We have heard Mr.S.Conscious Ilango, learned counsel for the

                     appellant; Mr.P.Muthukumar, learned State Government Pleader for

                     respondents 1 and 3; Mr.R.Bharanidharan, learned counsel for the

                     second respondent and, Mr.V.Vijay Shankar, learned counsel for

                     respondents 4 and 5.



                                  2. The present appeals are filed against the refusal of the interim

                     order. The writ petitions are pending before the learned Single Judge.

                     A Co-ordinate Bench of this Court under its order dated 6.2.2023 had

                     permitted the appellant to             appear   for   the   examination.    The

                     declaration of the result is withheld.



                                  3. The writ petitions are pending consideration before the

                     learned Single Judge.          Results of the other candidates have also not

                     yet been declared.

                                                                      W.A.Nos.2475 and 2476 of 2022


                                  4. In view of the fact that the writ petitions are now pending

                     consideration, the parties may request the learned Single Judge to

                     take up the writ petitions for final disposal at an early date.            The

                     declaration of the result of the appellant's examination would certainly

                     be subject to the result of the decision of the learned Single Judge.



                                  5. It is made clear that we have not considered the matter on

                     merits. All contentions are kept open.



                                  6. The writ appeals are, accordingly, disposed of. There will be

                     no order as to costs.          Consequently, C.M.P.Nos.19252 and 19257 of

                     2022 are closed.
