Mohiuddin overruled the objections raised by the HC Registry over the appeal petition and directed it to allot the number for hearing. On August 12, the single judge passed an interim direction staying operation of eight Government Orders (GOs) through which financial assistance was being extended to unmarried women belonging to scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward classes, minorities and physical challenged groups under the two schemes.
