GOULAY, ADVOCATE FOR R2 AND R4, R9 TO R16; R1, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8 AND R17 ARE SERVED & UNREPRESENTED) THIS REVIEW PETITION IS FILED UNDER ORDER XLVII RULE 1 AND SECTION 114 OF C.P.C. 1908 PRAYING TO REVIEW THE ORDER DATED 28.11.2023 PASSED IN WRIT PETITION NO.23713/2023 (LA-RES), A COPY OF THE SAME IS PRODUCED AT ANNEXURE-A AND REHEAR THE MATTER, IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAVI V HOSMANI - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4349 RP No. 314 of 2024 ORAL ORDER This Review Petition is filed seeking review of order dated 28.11.2023 passed by this Court in Writ Petition no.23713/2023. 2. Learned Additional Government Advocate submits that this Court had disposed of Writ Petition on submission of learned counsel for petitioners that respondents were likely not to follow directions issued by this Court in W.P.no.24480/2021 filed by them earlier. It was submitted that petitioners' apprehension was about not being granted opportunity at time of determining market value of land. It was submitted, even prior to passing of order impugned, in pursuance of direction issued in W.P.no.24480/2021, petitioners were issued with final notices on 22.09.2023, 25.09.2023 and 26.09.2023, proceedings were conducted on 27.07.2023 and General Award was passed on 02.09.2023. And even award amount was deposited before District Court on 21.11.2023. Said fact was not brought to notice of this Court and on assumption that award was not yet passed, order impugned came to be passed. Thus, there was an error apparent on face of record, and - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4349 RP No. 314 of 2024 therefore, learned A.G.A. seeks for allowing Review Petition and for recall of order. 3. On other hand, Sri Chandrakanth R.Goulay, learned counsel appearing for respondents no.2, 4 and 9 to 16 would oppose Review Petition. Drawing attention to paras 5 to 7 of order, it was submitted that passing of award was not within knowledge of petitioners and was not brought to notice of this Court by respondents and same cannot be a ground for review. 4. Heard learned counsel and perused Review Petition. 5. It is apparent that order impugned was passed on assumption that proceedings for passing of General Award were not completed and on apprehension espoused by petitioners that directions issued in W.P.no.24480/2021 would not be followed. 6. Submissions made by learned A.G.A. then were apparently on basis of available material and not after receipt of instructions. Since it was later noticed that proceedings in terms of directions issued in W.P.no.24480/2021 were held and - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4349 RP No. 314 of 2024 General Award stated to have been passed on 02.09.2023 and deposit of award amount in terms of Award was also done prior to impugned order, it would only be appropriate to allow Writ Petition, restore Writ Petition and provide opportunity to Writ Petitioners to controvert such assertions. 7. In view of above, since impugned order is shown to suffer from an error apparent on face of record, Review Petition is allowed. Impugned order dated 28.11.2023 passed in W.P.no.23713/2023 is recalled. Writ Petition is restored to file. Review Petitioners are permitted to place records pertaining to issuance of notices as well as passing of Award on record, in which case petitioners therein would be at liberty to controvert same.
