The court clarified that interim orders are not final and should not adversely affect litigants' rights.

ORDER

Dated this the 30^th day of January, 2026 The petitioner seeks to review the interim order dated

03.07.2025 in W.P.(C) No.17886 of 2023 passed by this Court.

2. The interim order dated 03.07.2025 reads as follows:-

“See order dated 24.06.2025.

The Government Pleader, on instruction, submits that the matter is still pending before the Finance Department and a decision at the level of the Council of Ministers would be required.

Post the writ petition after three months to submit the progress regarding the consideration of the request for reviving the post which now stands abolished since there was no incumbent for more than one year.

Government Pleader to convey this order to the concerned Secretary.”

3. The petitioner states that he is aggrieved by the observation in the order to the effect that the matter is still pending before the Finance Department and a decision at the level of the Council of Ministers would be required.

4. The contention of the petitioner is that the observation in the interim order to the effect that the progress regarding the consideration of the request for reviving the post, which now stands abolished for more than one year, would adversely affect the rights of the petitioner inasmuch as there is no abolition of the post as contended by the Government Pleader.

5. Be that as it may, I find that these are observations made based on the basis of submissions made on behalf of the respondents. The interim order does not finally decide any legal issue.

Therefore, there is no error apparent on the records of Annexure-A1. However, the Review Petition is disposed of directing that any observation made in Annexure-A1 order shall not adversely affect the claim of the petitioner.
