The writ petitioner is the appellant. Selection of entrepreneurs for conduct of Akshaya Centres, is under challenge in the writ petition. 2. It appears that the learned Single Judge had initially granted an interim order to the effect that the ranked list prepared would be subject to the result of the writ petition. Thereafter, the order was modified on 22.01.2026, clarifying that the earlier order would not stand in the way of the top- ranked persons being appointed and that such appointments shall be subject to the result of the writ petition. The said order dated 22.01.2026 is under challenge in this writ appeal.
