Since the respondents have not considered the representation, the present application has been filed before this Court. Law is well settled by the Hon’ble Supreme Court where the main order has been disposed of, a miscellaneous application praying for the substantive relief is not maintainable. [4] Subsequently, the present application has been filed by the applicant seeking for fresh cause of action for relief of considering the representation which is devoid of merit and not connected with the earlier prayer as sought by the petitioner. The application is only for modification or clerical error committed in the case. In such circumstances, the present application is not maintainable. [5] Accordingly, the present application is disposed of as not maintainable. JUDGE CHIEF JUSTICE Bipin
