For Applicant(s) Advocate : Mr. Jayant Kr. Karn For Respondent(s) Advocate : Mr. G. K. Agarwal, ASC Order of The Tribunal Heard learned Counsel for the parties. Learned Counsel for the applicant has commenced his arguments and submitted that certain subsequent developments have taken place in relation to the issue involved in the present matter. He has particularly drawn the attention of this Bench to a decision of the Principal Bench of this Tribunal, whereby relief has been granted to a similarly situated teacher. He has further submitted that the said development has also been brought on record by way of rejoinder. Per contra, learned Counsel for the respondents has advanced his submissions on the basis of the written statement, particularly drawing the attention of this Bench to paragraph Nos. 42 and 43 thereof, which, according to him, negate the claim of the applicant. However, he has submitted that he is not presently in a position to respond to the new facts and subsequent developments brought on record through the rejoinder, as the same were not part of the original pleadings in the OA or the written statement. Accordingly, he has sought some time to file a reply to the rejoinder. In view of the submissions made by learned Counsel for the respondents, the prayer is allowed. Let the matter be adjourned and listed on 04.01.2027 for filing of reply to the rejoinder by the respondents. The Registry is directed to extract the matter out of the category of 'Final Hearing' and place it under the heading 'Admission'. Interim relief, if any, shall continue until the next date of listing.
