:::BEFORE::: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE N. UNNI KRISHNAN NAIR

20.12.2024 Heard Mr. A. Bhattacharjee, learned counsel for the applicant and also heard Ms. T. Wangmo, learned State counsel representing State respondent Nos. 1 to 3.

Page No.# 20/21 The present Interlocutory Application has been instituted praying for correction of an error occasioning in the order dated 06.12.2024 passed by this Court in I.A. (C) No. 242 (AP) 2024.

I.A. (C) No. 242 (AP) 2024 was so instituted by the present applicants praying for impleading 85 persons as respondents in the connected writ petition being WP (C) 410 (AP) 2024. However, in the Cause title of the said I.A. i.e. I. A. (C) No. 242 (AP) 2024, it was inadvertently projected that the application was for impleading persons as party respondent Nos. 4 to 85 whereas actually it should have been respondent Nos. 4 to 88.

I have perused the contentions made in the present application and also considered the submission made by the learned counsel for the parties.

Admittedly, it is on account of an error on the part of the present applicants that in the order dated 06.12.2024 passed by this Court in I.A.

(C) No. 242 (AP) 2024, the impleadment was so permitted in respect of only 81 persons and they were directed to be impleaded as respondent Nos. 4 to 85 whereas the said application was so filed for impleading 85 persons as party respondents and they ought to have been impleaded as respondent Nos. 4 to 88.

In view of the above position, this Court is of the considered view that the present Interlocutory Application requires to be allowed and the Page No.# 21/21 learned counsel for the respondents have also not objected to the prayer made by the learned counsel for the applicant.

Accordingly, the word 81 (Eighty one) so occasioning in the order dated 06.12.2024 in I.A. (C) No. 242 (AP) 2024 shall now be read as "85" (Eighty Five). Further, the words "respondent Nos. 4 to 85" shall now be read as "respondent Nos. 4 to 88".

In view of the said correction, the applicant is allowed to implead private respondents as respondent Nos. 4 to 88 in the connected writ petition being WP (C) 410 (AP) 2024.

In terms of the above, this Interlocutory Application stands disposed of.
