Sathish Ninan, J.

The grievance of the appellants is that, in spite having filed an application under Article 226 (3) of the Constitution, the learned Single Judge has extended the interim order granted on 25/11/2025 for a further period of three months, without considering the application.

2. The application is numbered as I.A.No.1 of 2026.

We are sure that, if the filing of the above application is brought to the notice of the learned Single Judge, appropriate orders would be passed taking note of the same.

No directions are called for in this appeal. The appeal is closed.
