The order of this Court dated 30.08.2025, which notes the submission of the learned counsel for the review petitioners, reads as follows: ”Sri.D.R.Ravishankar, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that this case was considered by the Vacation Bench along with other similar matters and came to be disposed of on 22.05.2025. It is submitted that the facts as mentioned in paragraph No.3 of the order is not applicable to the case on hand. It is submitted that the allegations against the petitioners was only in respect of default to pay the loan amount which was obtained by them from 5th respondent/Co-operative Bank. Therefore, it is submitted that in the operative portion of the order, directions at Sl.Nos.3, 4 and 5 are redundant and they have to be deleted. He further submits that the question whether the petitioners were the defaulters or not is to be decided either by this Court or by Returning Officer himself. In that view of the matter, it is necessary to issue notice to the respondents. Hence, issue notice to the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioners is at liberty to serve the copy of the notice by hand on the counsels who were appearing in WP.No.14692/2025. List the matter after service of notice.” - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:46574 RP No. 266 of 2025 2. After hearing the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents, it is found that the order dated 22.05.2025 was passed by the Vacation Bench and apparently it pertain to the facts of a connected matter where such a contention was raised. 3. It is the case of the review petitioners that they were disqualified on the ground that they had not repaid the loan obtained from the respondent-Co-operative bank. Therefore, the matter requires fresh consideration, as the set of facts considered earlier was different. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the impleading applicant submits that his application may be allowed. At this stage, this Court does not find that he has any locus standi in the present review petition, as he was not a party to the writ petition. As such the I.A for impleading is rejected 5. In view of the above, the order of this Court in WP No.14993 of 2025 dated 22.05.2025 is hereby recalled, and the writ petition is restored to the file. 6. The matter may be placed before the appropriate roster Bench for consideration. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:46574 RP No. 266 of 2025 7. It is clarified that only the directions Nos.1 and 2 passed in the order dated 22.05.2025 shall remain applicable until the writ petition is finally decided. 8.
