Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The order of dismissal against Respondents 6 and 7 is recalled and the respondents are directed to supply spare copies within a week.

Summary

The petitioner, Chandrakant Dadasaheb Devkate, filed an interim application seeking recall of the High Court's order dated 18 November 2022 that dismissed the writ petition against Respondents 6 and 7 for failure to supply spare copies. The petitioner argued that the dismissal was erroneous because the respondents had not been given an opportunity to produce the required copies. The Court examined the procedural lapse and found merit in the petitioner's claim. Consequently, the Court recalled the dismissal order concerning Respondents 6 and 7. It directed that the spare copies be supplied to the Registry within one week and that a fresh notice be issued to the respondents, with a return date of 5 October 2026. The interim application was therefore allowed.
