MAT/79/2026
Mary Jacinta Toppo
Vs
The Andaman and Nicobar Administration and others
Ms. Sweta Yadav [through virtual mode] Mr. Pardeshia Munda
… for the appellant
Ms. Babita Das
… for the respondents
July 29, 2026 [SR] Item No.8
1. The appeal is directed against the order dated 30th June,
2026. The Single Bench, noting that the report of the Special Officer contained illegible documents, requested the Special Officer to furnish legible copies of the same to the writ petitioner to enable him to file an objection thereto.
2. Learned counsel for the appellant argues before this Court that there are no reasons recorded that the Single Bench for extending the interim order already passed the original interim order does not find place in the pleadings in the appeal.
3. A copy of the said order dated 4th April, 2024 has been handed over to the respondent which contains sufficient reasons. The said order has not been challenged by the appellant.
4. The extension was warranted and justified since the report of the Special Officer contained legible documents, and the main matter cannot be heard by the Single Bench without the written objection of the writ petitioner. In such a situation
2
no other reasons are required to be recorded, by the Court, for extending the interim order.
5. This Court therefore sees no reason whatsoever to interfere with the impugned order. The appeal is considered totally frivolous and is liable to be dismissed.
6. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to impose costs except to warn the appellant against such frivolous appeals, in future.
