In Brief
The appellant, Indira Gandhi National Open University, challenged a High Court interim order in a dispute over whether a respondent's service should be counted for pension benefits. The Supreme Court declined to decide the merits, noting the writ petition remained pending in the High Court. It disposed of the appeal and requested expedited disposal by the High Court within six months, preserving the existing interim order and reserving all arguments for final adjudication below.
