The petitioner was party in the said application. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:52976 WP No. 36563 of 2025 6. A perusal of the daily order sheet reflects that the serial application was listed on 14.10.2025 and it was listed for cross-examination of AW-1. An adjournment was sought by the advocate for the petitioner to cross-examine AW-1. The court declined adjournment and held that the opposite party has no cross-examination of AW-1. Under these circumstances, the petitioner is before this court. 7. It is pivotal to note that the petitioner instead of filing an application to recall the order dated 14.10.2025 before the Tribunal has directly approached this court by invoking the writ jurisdiction. Therefore, this court deems it fit to deem it proper to direct the petitioner to file an application to recall the order dated 14.10.2025. If an application is filed by the petitioner, the Tribunal shall consider the same in accordance with law. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
