2. Heard on admission.
3. This intra Court appeals takes exception to an interlocutory order/interim order passed by the learned Single Judge in I.A.No.2 of 2025 in W.P.No.10385 of 2025 dated 16.04.2025.

Interlocutory orders do not constitute 'judgments' under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent, and appeals against them are not maintainable.
Interlocutory orders that do not determine the rights and obligations of parties are not considered 'judgments' for appeal under Letters Patent.
Interlocutory orders are not appealable if they do not conclude pending proceedings.
Intra court appeals under Clause X of the Letters Patent are not maintainable against interim orders that do not finally decide any issues in controversy.
