    Court Refuses Stay Despite State’s Appeal

    The Indore bench, comprising Justice Subodh Abhyankar and Justice Alok Awasthi, turned down a state government appeal focused on a February 2025 promotion order, after the appeal was lodged 425 days later.[1]

    Bench Emphasises Delay as Key Barrier

    The judges warned that a stay cannot be granted on mere request when an appeal arrives after an almost 14‑month delay, noting that the State’s failure to submit earlier keeps the case stalled.[1]

    State Cites Unconsidered Judgment and Procedural Delay

    In contesting the writ, the State claimed that a prior division‑bench judgment was overlooked and that the delay, it said, was purely procedural rather than intentional.[1]

    Financial Stakes Highlighted by Advocate General

    The advocate general estimated that upholding the writ court’s order would expose the state to a liability of roughly Rs 5.28 crore across Madhya Pradesh.[1]

    Court Orders Response and Next Hearing Date

    The bench directed the State to file an answer to the delay‑condonation request within two weeks and set the matter for the week starting August 10, noting that no interim relief could be granted until the delay issue is resolved.[1]
