BEFORE
THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRASANTA KUMAR DEKA
ORDER
12.03.2021.
Heard Mr. A. Chamuah, the learned counsel for the applicant. Also present Mr. M. Z. Ahmed, the learned Senior Counsel assisted by Mr. S. K. Sarma, the learned counsel for the respondent Coal India Ltd.
This is an application filed by the applicant for correction/modification of the order dated 17.02.2021 passed in W.P.(C)/3582/2020 and the relevant portion of the order which requires alteration is extracted herein below:-
"3. That in the aforesaid judgment in the last page in the second last Paragraph it is recorded as follows:-
"In view of the same, and the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, I propose to close this writ petition which I accordingly do by holding that the respondent Coal India Ltd shall hand over an appropriate site whenever the same is available for resumption of the operation of coal mining subject to necessary terms and conditions of the respondent Coal India that may be impugned".
On complete perusal of the order dated 17.02.2021, I am satisfied that it requires modification in order to bring out the intent of the court while disposing of the said writ petition and accordingly, by invoking the jurisdiction under Section 152 of the CPC, the corrections are accordingly made as follows:-
"In view of the same, and the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, I propose to close this writ petition which I accordingly do by holding that the Page No.# 5/5
respondent Coal India Ltd shall hand over any suitable site whenever the same is available for resumption of the operation of coal mining subject to necessary terms and conditions of the respondent Coal India that may be imposed".
This order shall be read along with order dated 17.02.2021 passed in W.P.
(C)/3582/2020 by this court.
With the said corrections, this Interlocutory Application stands disposed of.
