ORDER : 1. Leave granted. 2. In spite of several orders passed by this Court deprecating the practice by the High Courts in permitting the colleges to participate in the admission process by an interim order the High Court has again passed an interim order permitting the Respondent No.1 herein to participate in the admission process. 3. In view of the order passed by this Court in the appeal arising out of SLP(C) No.22691/2024, Shri K. Parameshwar, learned senior counsel appearing for the appellants, fairly states that the present impugned order be quashed and the writ petition filed by the appellants herein be directed to be heard along with Writ Petition No.26152 of 2024. 4. The impugned order is therefore quashed and set aside and the appeal is allowed. The matter is remitted back to the High Court for consideration afresh. 5. The High Court is requested to hear the Writ Petition No.28960 of 2024 on merits on 14.10.2024 along with Writ Petition No. 26152 of 2024, which has already been listed for hearing on the said date i.e. 14.10.2024. 6. We clarify that we have not considered the merits of the matter and the High Court would decide the petition on its own merits, without being influenced by the present order. 7. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
