I.A.No.1 of 2024
The petitioners 1 and 2 had filed the present writ petition being aggrieved by the order of rejection, by the 5th respondent, in relation to the applications submitted by the petitioners, for cancellation of a lay out permission. This writ petition was disposed of, by an order dated 18.04.2023, giving liberty to the petitioners to file an application before the concerned Urban Development
Authority along with relevant record with a further direction to the Urban Development Authority to consider such application as and when it is filed.
Petitioner No.1 has now filed the present recall petition on the ground that his mother, who is the 2nd petitioner, had passed away on 10.06.2021 much before the disposal of the writ petition. The death certificate issued by the Municipal Corporation, Kakinada has also been enclosed.
Sri M. Achyut, learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that this court has the inherent power to recall its own order and set aside the
judgment dated 18.04.2023 and relied upon the Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Sri Budhia Swain and others vs. Gopinath Deb1.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court, in paragraph No.6 of the above said
judgment after considering the law on this issue had held that inherent power to recall can be exercised when it is shown that a necessary party had died and the estate of said party was not represented. In the present case, the 2nd petitioner who is a necessary party had passed away before the judgment had been delivered and this Court had deliver the said Judgment in ignorance of the demise of the 2nd writ petitioner.
Sri Achyut, learned counsel would submit that the Urban Development Authority is not willing to accept the representation of the 1st petitioner on the ground that the order of this Court required both the petitioners to apply for cancellation of the lay out permit.
In the circumstances, this application is allowed and the judgment of this Court dated 18.04.2023 is recalled and the writ petition is restored to filed.
