learned Single Judge on 10th December, 2020 and was made return ab le on
25th January, 2021. It appears that th e appellant (original petitioner) wants
the court to decide the writ petition on the very first da te of hearing and
grant the relief sought .

3. Looking to the facts of the case , the appellant (original petitioner) is
aggrieved by the action of respondent Nos .1 and 2 in not providing 10%
reservation to the E WS category for admission to the th ree year LL.B
Course, for the Academic Session 2020 -2021 as per the mandate of Office
Memorandum dated 17.01.2019 issued by M inistry of Social Justice &
Empowerment , Government of India and O.M. dated 18.01.2019 issued by
UGC . Looking at the issue involved in the writ petition and the relief
sought, the learned Single Judge thought it fit to issue notice and make it
returnable on 25th January, 2021.

4. No rights and liabilities of th e appellant herein have been adjudicated
or finalized by the impugned or der dated 10th December, 202 0 and the writ
petition is still pending. W e therefore see no reason to entertain this Letters
Patent Appeal and the same is accordingly dismissed.
