3. In W.P.No.10456 of 2025 an interim order was passed on
24.03.2025. Paragraph no.5 of the said order reads as follows:

orders of this Court before proceeding further, consequent to the
impugned orders.”
4. Challenging the same, these two writ appeals have been filed.
5. Both sides agreed that the panel preparation process can go on, but,
it will not be implemented without getting orders from the learned Single Judge.
It is made clear that this would be without prejudice to the contention of the writ
petitioners.
6. The learned Single Judge may take up the writ petition for final
disposal on 03.06.2025.
Accordingly, these writ appeals are disposed of. No costs. Connected
C.M.Ps. are closed.
