In Brief
Indira Gandhi National Open University appealed against an interim High Court order allowing Respondent No. 1 to count his service for pension benefits. The Supreme Court declined to adjudicate the merits, as the writ petition remained pending before the High Court. The Court directed the High Court to expeditiously dispose of the petition within six months. The interim order was to continue until final judgment. The appellant could raise all contentions before the High Court, which could consider additional documents filed by parties. No orders as to costs were made.
