HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HITESH KUMAR SARMA
ORDER
Date : 05-02-2021
The respective counsel for the petitioners are present. The respective Departments
are represented by their respective standing counsel/counsel.
Mr. FU Barbhuiya, learned counsel for the petitioners in WP(C) Nos. 8752/2019,
8596/2019, 8618/2019, 8819/2019, 8822/2019, 8856/2019, 8900/2019, 8911/2019 and
9187/2019 has referred to the decision, dated 09.11.2020 passed in WA No. 148/2019 by a
Division Bench of this Court and has submitted that the instant bunch of case is covered by
the said decision to which the learned counsel for the Finance Department, Mr. R Borpuzari
has disagreed, referring to the decision, dated 12.04.2018 passed in WP(C) No. 5559/2014 by
a Single Bench of this Court. According to him, the said Division Bench judgment is not
applicable in this series of cases.
During the course of interaction in the open Court with the respective learned counsel
for the parties, an issue has arisen as to whether the Division Bench judgment, referred to
above, will be applicable in this bunch of case on facts or the Single Bench decision, referred
to above, is applicable in the given facts of the cases.
Both the parties have agreed to work in this aspect and to examine the matter they be
given some time.
Accordingly, list the matters on 24th February, 2021.
