THIS WRIT PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1499 WP No. 107875 of 2025 CORAM: THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI ORAL ORDER The present writ petition is filed questioning the order dated 20.06.2025, which reads thus: “R2 prays time. Since 90 days lapsed. Objections of R2 and 3 taken as not filed. Hence for petitioner evidence, call on 18.07.2025.” 2. This order is impugned before this Court and a Co- ordinate Bench of this Court on 27.10.2025 has granted an interim order. The petitioner who is respondent No.1 in MVC No.2649/2024 comes before this Court questioning an order dated 20.06.2025 which is passed against respondent Nos.2 and 3. The petitioner cannot be an affected party by virtue of the order passed by the Trial Court. The owner comes before this Court and obtains an order on 27.10.2025. It is a classic case of pure abuse of the process of the Court. Despite the fact that no order has been passed against the petitioner/respondent No.1, the writ petition has been numbered. The petitioner has no locus - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1499 WP No. 107875 of 2025 to file this writ petition. Hence, this Court is passing the following: ORDER (i) Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. (ii) All I.As. in this writ petition shall stand closed.
