The HC found the Appellate Authority's order rendered without proper consideration of extant HC orders on the record and characterized the officers' affidavit as evasive and nonresponsive, noting admission of a prior writ order without explanation for non-compliance. The court adjourned the matter to 09.09.2025, conditional upon payment of Rs.5,000 by deduction from the salary of the respondent-officer who issued the impugned order, payable to the petitioner before the next date. The Principal Secretary, Institutional Finance, U.P. (respondent no.1), was directed to file a personal affidavit explaining the conduct of the State officers in failing to follow the writ court's orders.
