CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 20-06-2025 These review applications have been preferred by the respondent nos. 1 to 6 of CWJC No. 17889 of 2018 (Virendra Kumar Pandey vs. North Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd. & Ors.) and other analogous writ applications which were heard and disposed of by a common order dated 15.04.2019.

2. The writ applications were preferred for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash and cancel the order dated 23.07.2018 as contained in Annexure '10' to the writ

11/15 application (the leading case being CWJC No. 17889 of 2018) by which the Electrical Executive Engineer, Electric Supply Division, Motihari (Respondent No.4) had cancelled the agreement dated 21.02.2014 entered into between the petitioners and respondent no.4 in terms of Rural Revenue Franchise Scheme, 2013.

3. This Court having heard the parties after completion of pleading, came to a conclusion that the respondent no.4 had cancelled the agreement with the petitioners but even before doing that he had awarded the same work to respondent no.7.

4. This Court examined the provisions of the Scheme whereunder it is clearly stipulated that it is the individual who were to be given preference in the given manner. This Court noticed that in the counter affidavit there was no averment that the respondent no.7 was an applicant and was enlisted in the panel. This Court recorded that the entire process and procedure adopted by respondent authorities in the matter of cancellation of agreement and appointment of respondent no.7 even before cancellation of agreement suffers from arbitrariness and cannot be sustained. The findings of this Court may be found in the following words:

"Nothing has been brought on record before this

12/15 Court to demonstrate that prior to going for fresh allotment of work to respondent no. '7', the respondent no. 4 has followed the procedures as provided in the Scheme / modified Scheme. With the rejoinder the petitioner has brought on record a copy of the letter no. 722 dated 27.02.2018 addressed to private respondent no. '7' whereby the work in question has been allotted to respondent no. '7' on 20.07.2018 itself. On perusal of the letter no. 722 dated 20.07.2018 (Annexure-14 in C.W.J.C. No. 17889 of 2018) no doubt remains in the mind of this Court in taking a view that the respondent authorities had already made up their mind to allot the work to respondent no. '7' after removing the petitioner(s). Issuance of show cause notices were thus, an empty formality. It has been found that prior to engagement of respondent no.

'7' the North Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd. had not published any notice inviting tender. No transparency seems to have been followed. In haste the authorities allotted the work to private respondent no. '7' even before taking a decision upon proper consideration of the replies of the petitioner(s). Since this Court comes to a conclusion that cancellation of agreement of the petitioner(s) is liable to be set aside, the order by which the same work were allotted to respondent no. '7' is also liable to be set aside. There are sufficient pleading available on record to take this view. Thus, in the given facts and circumstance, this Court find that the order as contained in Annexure '14' is liable to be held, bad in law, result of a arbitrary decision making process and appointment of respondent no.

13/15 in fact."

5. Having reached to the aforementioned conclusion, this Court quashed Annexure '10' in CWJC No. 17880 of 2018 and similar impugned orders of cancellation in other analogous matters as well as Annexure '14' of the rejoinder.

6. In course of hearing, Mr. Anand Kumar Ojha, learned Senior counsel assisted by Mr. Ashok Kumar Karn, learned counsel submits that the review application has been filed only for expunction of the observations in the last line on page no. 19 of the order which reads as under: ".... but a malafide exercise of power is a malice in law if not in fact...."

7. Learned Senior counsel submits that the respondents have not challenged the order and in fact have complied with the same, however, at this stage, the only request is to expunge the said observation of the Court. In course of submissions, Mr. Ojha submits that the impugned order which this Court has already quashed may be bad and arbitrary as held by this Court but it is not done with malafide exercise of power, therefore, the observations of this Court that the impugned order was passed by way of malafide exercise of power and it is a malice in law if not in fact may be expunged.

8. On the other hand, Mr. Nikhil Kumar Agarwal,

14/15 learned counsel submits that filing of the review applications are wholly uncalled for and is nothing but wastage of the time of the Court. Referring to the scope and ambit of a review application, learned counsel submits that it is not the case of the review petitioners that there is any error apparent on the face of the record in the order under review. If it is so, the review jurisdiction of this Court could not have been invoked.

9. Learned counsel submits that the observation of this Court holding that it is a case of malafide exercise of power which is a malice in law if not in fact is based on the discussions made in the order in which this Court had recorded a finding inter alia that issuance of show-cause notice were only an empty formality and prior to engagement of respondent no.7, the power company had not published any notice inviting tender and no transparency seems to have been followed.

10. It is submitted that in such circumstance, where the observation of this Court is based on a discussion of facts which were evident from the records, there is no need to exercise the review jurisdiction of this Court.

11. Having heard learned Senior counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the Opposite Party No.1, this Court is of the considered opinion that in the kind of

15/15 submissions made before this Court, the review jurisdiction of this Court cannot be invoked. This Court has already quoted hereinabove its findings which are based on the pleadings available in the writ application. No part of the finding of the Court has been assailed or said to be an error of record. If it is so, the observations made by this Court are well founded. No case for review is made out. These applications are dismissed.

12. This Court is of the opinion that for wasting the precious judicial time, the petitioner-company must pay a sum of Rs. 10,000/- to the Patna High Court Legal Services Committee within four weeks from today.
