CORAM: HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE
HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR
--------- For the Appellants: Mr. Ankit Vishal, Advocate
--------- 02/Dated: 02.09.2026
1. Heard Mr Ankit Vishal, learned counsel for the appellants.
2. This appeal is directed against order dated 02.05.2025 dismissing appellant’s Civil Review Petition No. 123 of 2024.
3. As has been held in the case of M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited and others Vs. Socio Techno Environmental Institute and others, L.P.A. No. 408 of 2001 decided on 13.12.2002, no L.P.A. would be maintainable against an
2026:JHHC:26840-DB p. 2 order dismissing a review petition. This order has been followed in Laxman Tamang @ Laxman Kumar Tamang and others Vs. The State of Jharkhand and others, L.P.A. No. 226 of 2025 decided on 10.03.2026 and in the case of Central Coalfields Ltd. Vs. Kuni Devi, L.P.A. No. 359 of 2025 decided on 06.04.2026.
4. Therefore, following the above decisions, we dismiss this L.P.A. as not maintainable.
5. Mr Ankit Vishal fairly points out that even against the order dated 05.09.2023 passed in W.P.(S) No. 774 of 2023, against which the review came to be dismissed by the impugned order, the appellant had preferred L.P.A. No. 615 of 2025, which has since been dismissed by order dated 15.06.2026 by invoking the bar of limitation.
6. Mr Ankit Vishal submitted that the original order of the learned Single Judge dated 05.09.2023 has also been duly complied with.
7. For all the above reasons, we dismiss this L.P.A. as not maintainable.
8. Pending I.As. will not survive and are also disposed of.
