                     BEFORE
     HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KALYAN RAI SURANA

                          ORDER

Page No.# 15/16

14.05.2024

All sides are duly represented.

Mr. S.P. Sarma, learned standing counsel for the APDCL has produced a copy of the judgment and order dated 02.05.2021 passed by this Court in WP(C) 3327/2017. In paragraph-21 of the said judgment, this Court had made a mention that separate judgments had been delivered in WP(C) 5454/2017 and WP(C) 3014/2015.

However, on the perusal of the records of the said two writ petitions which are listed today, it is noted that by order dated 12.05.2021, directions were issued to the petitioners to take steps on several respondents mentioned therein.

Therefore, it prima facie appears that perhaps an inadvertent mistake was made in paragraph-21 of the judgment and order dated 12.05.2021, passed in WP(C) 3327/2017, which has to be examined and the same calls for a suo-motu review of the said judgment and order dated 12.05.2021 passed in WP(C) 3327/2017, only in respect of observation made in paragraph-21 wherein it is noted that separate judgments are delivered in WP(C) 5454/2017 and WP(C) 3014/2015 and for all the other matters i.e. WP(C) 7070/2015, WP(C) 2938/2017, WP(C) 3071/2017, WP(C) 3086/2017 and WP(C) 3327/2017.

The Registry shall list the WP(C) 7070/2015, WP(C) 2938/2017, WP(C) 3071/2017, WP(C) 3086/2017 and WP(C) 3327/2017 on 16.05.2024 so as to enable the Court to examine if paragraph-21 of the judgment and order dated 12.05.2021 requires a suo-motu review to correct the clerical error that had crept in the order.

Page No.# 16/16

These two writ petitions shall also be listed on 16.05.2024.
