A. Islam, Advocate For the Respondent(s) : Mr. S. S. Roy, Government Advocate BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER Date : 09.02.2026 This is an application filed alleging willful and deliberate violation to the order dated 03.12.2025 passed in WP(C) No.3664/2025. Page No.# 2/3 2. It is very relevant to take note of the observations made by this Court vide the order dated 03.12.2025 passed in WP(C) No.3664/2025 and the relevant paragraphs of the said order are reproduced herein under: “In the affidavit-in-opposition filed by the respondent authorities, it has been stated that the application for grant of sale permission and further process is required to be done through the SEWA SETU, a Comprehensive Citizen Platform. It is stated that no application in the name of the petitioner is found in the said portal and that there is no averment made in the writ petition that such application was submitted through the said portal. None appears for the petitioner on call today. In view of the assertions made in the affidavit-in-opposition, this writ petition is disposed of, permitting the petitioner to apply for the land sale permission and other requisite through the SEWA SETU portal as required. On receipt of such application, the respondent authorities shall process the same expeditiously in accordance with law and within the time framed provided for. Writ petition is disposed of. No costs.” 3. From a perusal of the relevant portion of the above quoted order, it is apparent that the Petitioner is required to file a fresh application in the Sewa Setu portal and the Respondent Authorities are to process only upon receipt of such application. 4. This Court enquired with the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner as to whether any fresh application has been filed pursuant to the order dated 03.12.2025. The learned counsel submits that no application has been filed pursuant to the order dated 03.12.2025. Page No.# 3/3 5. Considering the above, no case for issuance of notice in the instant proceedings have arisen taking into account that the Petitioner has not filed any application pursuant to the directions passed by the learned Coordinate Bench of this Court in the order dated 03.12.2025 passed in WP(C) No.3664/2025. 6. Accordingly, the instant application stands closed. 7. It is however observed that the closure of the instant application shall not prejudice the Petitioner to submit a fresh application in the Sewa Setu portal seeking land permission and in the circumstance, such application is filed, the Respondents in WP(C) No.3664/2025 would be bound to abide by the directions passed by the learned Coordinate Bench in the order dated 03.12.2025 passed in WP(C) No.3664/2025.
