ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.SUNIL DUTT YADAV)
W.A.No.200113/2023 has been filed calling in
question the correctness of the order passed in W.P.No.
201160/2023 while W.A.No.200114/2023 is filed
challenging the order passed in W.P.No.200969/2023.
Both the writ petitions, the orders of which are impugned
in the present proceedings, were disposed off by a
common order dated 04.08.2023. The appellants in both
the appeals being the same entity and contentions being
identical, both the writ appeals are disposed off by this
common order.
2. W.P.No. 201160/2023 came to be filed calling in
question the validity of the order dated 23.02.2023. In
terms of the order of the respondent dated 23.02.2023,
the earlier order of 21.10.2022 granting conferring rights
to lift scrap on the petitioner came to be revoked. Such
order of revocation dated 23.02.2023 was assailed in the
writ petition. The writ petition eventually came to be
NC: 2025:KHC-K:1263-DB
rejected refusing to interfere with the impugned order
dated 23.02.2023. The validity of such order has been
challenged in the present proceedings.
3. It is the say of the petitioner that there was an
interim order in the writ proceedings as well as in the
present proceedings, however, it is submitted that despite
such interim order, petitioner was not able to take the
benefit of the order dated 21.10.2022.
4. Learned Government Advocate submits that the
period for which the petitioner was entitled to lift the scrap
was from 21.10.2022 and ended on 06.12.2024 and
accordingly, no further adjudication is called for in the
present proceedings.
5. However, learned counsel appearing for the
appellant submits that insofar the grievance of the
appellant that despite the operation of the interim order till
06.12.2024 from 21.10.2022, the appellant was not
permitted to lift the scrap and if a direction is given to the
NC: 2025:KHC-K:1263-DB
Authorities to look into the grievance of the appellant that
they were not able to lift the scrap between 21.10.2022
and 06.12.2024, their grievance in the present
proceedings would stand redressed.
6. Learned Government Advocate submits that such
decision must be taken at the end of the Secretary,
Irrigation Department and pursuant to which, KBJNL may
consider based on the order of the Government.
7. Taking note of the operation of the interim order
and the submission of the appellant, the present
proceedings are disposed off without entering into the
merits while leaving it open for the respondent - State to
consider the grievance of the petitioner as noticed in
paragraph No.5 above. Such order is passed while noticing
that the period for which the appellant was conferred with
rights to lift scrap has itself terminated on 06.12.2024.
8. It is however clarified that the Court has not
adjudicated on the merits. If representation is given to
NC: 2025:KHC-K:1263-DB
respondent No.1 relating to the grievance that despite
interim order operating he was not permitted to lift the
scrap by the appellant, the same may be disposed off
within a period of 3 months thereafter.
9. Accordingly, the appeals are disposed off. In view
of the disposal of appeals, all pending applications are also
disposed off as not calling for any order.
