O R D E R [Order of the Court was made by M. Sundar, CJ]

[1]

When the matter was taken up, Ms. Malemleima, learned counsel representing learned counsel on record for 'Miscellaneous Case' ('MC' for the sake of brevity and convenience) applicants very fairly submits that captioned MC was necessitated as Division Bench combination will be different on 10.09.2026 and that, that Division Bench cannot take up the main matter as one of the members of that Division Bench has made the impugned order, saying so learned counsel consented to have the matter listed on 11.09.2026 (Friday) when this combination will be the Division Bench as per roster. Endorsement made in the case file in this regard by learned counsel is as follows:

P a g e 9 | 9

[2]

Ms. Ch. Sundari, learned State counsel for respondent Nos. 12 and 13 and Mr. Ch. Robinchandra, learned counsel for respondent Nos. 21, 23, 28, 40, 42 and 43 (private respondents) are before this Court (Physical Court). [3]

In the light of narrative thus far, captioned MC(WA) No. 43 of 2026 is disposed of as closed making it clear that main writ appeal and MC (WA) No. 83 of 2025 thereat will now be listed on 11.09.2026 (Friday) instead of 10.09.2026. [4]

Captioned MC is disposed of as closed in the aforesaid manner. There shall be no order as to costs.
