Learned counsel for the petitioners states that by an ad-interim order dated 29.4.2002, this court had granted status-quo in the matter while issuing notice before admission to the other side. Though the respondents were served, none appeared on behalf of the respondents in the matter.

It is also brought to the notice of this court that since the writ petition is pending, the Presiding Officer, School Tribunal Nagpur has not decided the appeals filed by the petitioners.
