BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MEDHI ORDER 17.02.2026 Heard Shri S.C. Keyal, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Shri A. Sandilya, learned counsel for the respondent nos. 1 and 2. The instant petition has been filed under Order X of the Gauhati High Court Rules, 2015 read with Section 114 and Order 47 Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C) for review of the common judgment and order dated 16.12.2022 passed in a bunch of writ petition, including WP(C)/4385/2022. The primary ground of seeking review was on the basis of an order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, dated 18.10.2024, passed in Review Petition (C) No. 359/2023 in Civil Appeal No.5783/2022 (Union of India & Anr. Vs. M/S Ganpati Dealcom Pvt. Ltd.). It, however, transpires that subsequent to the foresaid decision, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has passed another order dated 04.11.2025 in SLP(C) No. 8229/2024 by holding that the review would not be maintainable. Shri Keyal, learned counsel for the applicant has very fairly submitted that in the meantime, the Division Bench of this Court by following the aforesaid principle has held that a review would not be maintainable. Shri Sandilya, learned counsel for the respondent nos.1 and 2 has submitted that since the subsequent order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court has clearly laid down the principle, the present petition would not be maintainable and is liable
Page No.# 3/3 to be dismissed.
At this stage, Shri Keyal, learned counsel for the applicant has informed this Court that apart from the order dated 04.11.2025, another order on the similar lines was passed earlier on 12.02.2025 in Review Petition (C) No. 341 of 2025 in SLP(C) Diary No. 49828/2023. Considering the principle laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the subsequent orders dated 12.02.2025 and 04.11.2025, this Court is of the view that the present application for review would not be maintainable and accordingly, the same stands dismissed.
