Facts

This matter concerns a writ miscellaneous application filed before the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan, Bench at Jaipur. The application sought to amend a previous order dated 25.11.2021 passed by the Court in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 9116/2020. The petitioner, Kriti Creation, through its Sole Proprietor Smt. Praveena Sethi, had filed the original writ petition. The application specifically requested that the name of Mr. Ashok Kumar Gupta, learned counsel for the writ petitioner, be included in the order dated 25.11.2021. The respondents are the Union of India, the GST Council, and the State of Rajasthan.

Held

The Court allowed the writ miscellaneous application. The Court directed that the order dated 25.11.2021, previously passed in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 9116/2020, should be treated as if it also included the name of Mr. Ashok Kumar Gupta as learned counsel for the writ petitioner. The Court further stated that this amended order should be considered an integral part of the original order dated 25.11.2021. The reasoning behind this decision is to ensure accurate representation of the legal counsel involved in the proceedings and to rectify a procedural omission. The Court's decision is based on the stated reasons within the writ miscellaneous application itself, which were found sufficient for allowing the amendment.

Key Issues

1. Whether the writ miscellaneous application filed by the petitioner should be allowed to amend the previous order of this Court dated 25.11.2021 to include the name of the petitioner's counsel, Mr. Ashok Kumar Gupta. Petitioner's Argument: The petitioner, through its counsel Mr. Ashok Kumar Gupta, argued that the inclusion of his name in the order dated 25.11.2021 was an oversight and that his name should be formally recorded as counsel for the writ petitioner. The application was filed to rectify this omission. Revenue/State's Argument: The judgment does not record any specific arguments made by the respondents (Union of India, GST Council, State of Rajasthan) on the writ miscellaneous application. Therefore, it is presumed they did not contest the application.
