For the Respondent(s) : ………………………………….. – BEFORE – HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. VIJAY BISHNOI HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SOUMITRA SAIKIA 25.03.2025 (Vijay Bishnoi, CJ) Mr. D. Gogoi, learned counsel appearing for the review petitioners has submitted that notice of the review petition has already been served upon the respondent Nos.1, 2 and 3. He has also submitted that the proof regarding service of notice upon the respondent No.3 is already placed on record. In such circumstances, we are of the view that notice of the review petition has already been served upon the contesting respondents. This review petition is filed by the review petitioners seeking review of the order dated 18.02.2022 passed by this Court in PIL No.130/2015 which was closed taking into consideration the statement made by the learned Standing Counsel, Forest Department that a policy decision has been taken not to give mining lease at Unit-I (Channighat), for the present. Learned counsel for the review petitioners has submitted that, as a matter of fact, no such policy was there and the statement was given by the learned Standing Counsel, Forest Department on account of some misinformation. Be that as it may, we do not find this reason enough to review the order dated 18.02.2022 passed by this Court in PIL No.130/2015. Page No.# 3/3 Hence, this review petition is dismissed.
