It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that in the impugned order dated 30.01.2026, the learned District Judge-III, Garhwa has erroneously mentioned that the appellants, who are the petitioners herein were the plaintiffs and the suit was dismissed at the trial stage. Hence, it is submitted that the said order be quashed and set-aside. 5. Learned counsel for the opposite party No.1,3,7 & 8 fairly submits that the learned District Judge-III, Garhwa in the impugned order passed in C.A.

Having heard the submissions of the parties made at the Bar and after going through the materials available on record, this Court finds that the observation of the learned District Judge-III, Garhwa that the appellants, who are petitioners of this Civil Miscellaneous Petition were the plaintiffs and the suit was dismissed at the trial stage is an error apparent on the face of the record. Hence, this Court is of the 2026:JHHC:17402 3 C.M.P. No.285 of 2026 considered view that the impugned order dated 30.01.2026 is not sustainable in law, hence the same is quashed and set-aside. 7.
