Petitioner, through the medium of this petition, seeks review of the judgment dated 16.12.2023 passed in WP(C) 1080/2022 titled “Roshan Lal Vs. UT of J&K & Ors.”, with a prayer for recalling the same and for hearing the writ petition afresh. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had filed two writ petitions viz WP(C) No. 1080/2022 and WP(C) No. 1023/2022, and that the respondents had erroneously filed the objections pertaining to WP(C) No. 1023/2022 in WP(C) No. 1080/2022, on the basis whereof the judgment sought to be reviewed came to be passed. 3. Pursuant to notice, respondents have filed objections to the present review petition, stating therein that the objections were inadvertently filed in WP(C) No. 1080/2022 instead of WP(C) No. 1023/2022, and that this Court, on the basis of the said objections, passed the judgment sought to be reviewed. 4. On perusal of the record of the case, it transpires that the respondents had inadvertently filed reply/objections prepared to be filed in response to WP(C) 1023/2022 in WP(C) 1080/2022, in view of the same cause title of both the petitions. The respondents have thus fairly conceded, the plea raised in this review petition. 5. For the aforestated reasons, the judgment sought to be reviewed has been passed, on consideration of the facts and submissions made with regard to another case, as such, case is made out to review the judgment dated 16.12.2023, passed in WP(C) 1080/2022. 6. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, review petition is allowed and the judgment sought to be reviewed is ordered to be recalled and WP(C) 1080/2022 is ordered to be taken up afresh, for hearing. 7. List WP(C) 1080/2022 on 10.07.2026. 8. Accordingly, the review petition stands disposed of, along with all connected application(s). (M. A. CHOWDHARY) JUDGE SRINAGAR: 19.05.2026 “Adil Ismail”
