JUDGMENT : 1. With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this appeal is heard finally. 2. In this intra court appeal, the appellants have assailed the validity of ad interim order dated 28.10.2016 passed by the learned Single Judge, by which the learned Single Judge pending adjudication of the writ petition has directed the appellants to enroll respondent No.1 for Full Time Ph.D Programme-2016 at Faculty of Management Studies notwithstanding the fact that the formal letter of sponsorship as also guarantee of study leave from the parent university has not been made in favour of respondent No.1. 3. When the matter was taken up today, learned counsel for the appellants submitted that at the time when the aforesaid interim order was passed, the appellants were not impleaded as respondents in the writ petition and therefore, had no opportunity to address the Court. It is further submitted that in the absence of formal letter of sponsorship as well as guarantee of study leave from the Central University, Jammu, as per the Statute and Ordinances of the Delhi University, it is not legally permissible for the appellants to enroll respondent No.1 for the Ph.D Prgramme. It is further submitted that the impugned order has been passed without affording any opportunity of hearing to the appellants. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for respondent No.1 fairly submits that at the time when the impugned order was passed by the learned Single Judge, appellants were not impleaded as party respondents but subsequently appellants have been impladed as party respondents in the writ petition. 5. We have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties. 6. Admittedly, impugned order dated 28.10.2016 has been passed by the learned Single Judge without affording any opportunity of hearing to the appellants. Therefore, we deem it appropriate to dispose of this Letters Patent Appeal with a request to the learned Single Judge that in case appellants move an application seeking vacation of the ad interim order dated 28.10.2016 within a period of one week, the same shall be decided by the learned Single Judge within a period of two weeks from the date of filing of such application. Mr.
Mr. S.S.Ahmed, learned counsel for respondent No.1 fairly submits that till application for vacation of stay is decided by the learned Single Judge, he shall not press the contempt petition, which has been filed by respondent No.1. 7. With the aforesaid observations, the appeal stands disposed of. 8. Copy of this order be provided to the learned counsel for the appellants under the seal and signatures of the Bench Secretary.
