Learned counsel for the petitioners would invite my attention to the earlier order passed by this Court in W.P.No.37818/2025 in order to contend that the protection granted by this Court directing the respondents not to take any major financial decision in relation to the subject educational institution / society did not continue to remain in force after 17.12.2025 and since the main appeals are pending consideration, the present petitions may be disposed of directing the First Appellate Court to dispose of M.A.No.25/2025 and M.A.No.26/2025 within a stipulated timeframe and by directing both parties not to take any major financial decision in relation to subject educational institution / society till disposal of the appeals by the First Appellate Court.

It is submitted on instruction that if parties are directed not to conduct / hold any meetings till disposal of M.A.No.25/2025 and M.A.No.26/2025, the petitioners would unconditionally withdraw the said W.P.No.37348/2025. 5. Per contra, learned counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3 submits that he has no objection for directions to be issued to the First Appellate Court for expeditious disposal of M.A.No.25/2025 and M.A.No.26/2025. It is further submitted that as already directed by this Court in W.P.No.37348/2025, the non-holding / non- conducting of meeting by respondent Nos.1 to 3 will not entail consequences under Byelaw 7(b) or Section 27A of the Karnataka Societies Registration Act. 6.
