Article 226 restraint on interlocutory interference, with limitation and authority objections left open and expeditious disposal directed.

Article 226 interference was declined against the Tribunal's preliminary findings on limitation and the officer's authority to file the appeal, as the matter was at an interlocutory stage and the merits were left open for challenge in appropriate proceedings. The High Court also directed expeditious disposal of the pending appeal, ensuring that the Tribunal proceeds without further delay while preserving all parties' contentions on the preliminary objections.
