Facts

The petitioner, M/s. KNR-SEW-GVR JV Infrastructure Limited, filed a review application (Review I.A. No. 1 of 2025) in Writ Petition No. 31363 of 2024. The petitioner contended that the writ petition was wrongly tagged with other matters concerning limitation notifications. The petitioner argued that their writ petition did not challenge the limitation notifications but sought a different, specific relief. They requested that the order passed in the writ petition be recalled and the petition be restored to its original number. The respondents did not dispute this contention.

Held

The Court accepted the petitioner's submission that Writ Petition No. 31363 of 2024 was wrongly tagged with matters concerning limitation notifications. The Court found that the petitioner's writ petition sought a specific relief distinct from the challenge to limitation notifications. Consequently, the Court recalled the order previously passed in Writ Petition No. 31363 of 2024. The Court further directed that the Writ Petition be restored to its original number. Any interim relief that might have been granted in the main writ petition was ordered to continue. The Registry was instructed to keep a copy of the review order in the original writ petition file.

Key Issues

1. Whether the Writ Petition No. 31363 of 2024 was wrongly tagged with matters challenging limitation notifications, thereby deviating from the specific relief sought by the petitioner? Petitioner's Argument: The petitioner argued that the subject matter of their writ petition was distinct from the limitation notifications that were the focus of other tagged matters. They asserted that a specific relief was sought in their petition, and its misclassification led to an incorrect order. They relied on the prayer clause in their main writ petition to substantiate this. Respondents' Argument: The respondents did not dispute the petitioner's assertion regarding the misclassification and the nature of the relief sought. They did not present any counter-arguments.
