Leave granted.
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
By the impugned order, the High Court, after taking note of the arguments
of the counsel appearing for the parties in Miscellaneous First Appeal No. 2486/2008, passed interim order and made arrangement for management of the school by
constituting a committee comprising seven persons.
The appellants have challenged the order of the High Court on several
grounds including the one that even though they were directly affected by the prayer made for interim relief, they were neither impleaded as parties in the Miscellaneous
First Appeal nor were given opportunity to represent their cause.
After some arguments, learned counsel for the parties stated that the
impugned order may be set aside so as to enable the respondents herein to implead the appellants as parties to the Miscellaneous First Appeal pending before the High
Court and thereafter appropriate order may be passed for management of the school.
In view of the above, the appeal is allowed, impugned order is set aside and the matter is remitted to the High Court for passing fresh interim order for
management of the school. The High Court should, on a prayer made in this regard by the respondents herein, order for impleadment of the appellants herein as parties
to the Miscellaneous First Appeal and then pass appropriate order in accordance with law after giving opportunity of hearing to the parties.
Let the hearing of the interim matter before the High Court be expedited.
