This matter is listed today under the caption "for being mentioned" at the instance of the Registry.
2. Inadvertently, instead of closing the impleading petition in W.M.P.No.21902 of 2018, the same was wrongly ordered on 05.03.2025. Hence, the impleading petition in W.M.P.No.21902 of 2018 is closed.
3. Registry is directed to carry out necessary correction in the order dated 05.03.2025 and issue fresh order copy to the parties. 25.03.2025 ssb

The matter is listed today under the caption "for being mentioned".
2. It is brought to the notice of this Court by the Registry that in paragraph No.2 of the order dated 25.03.2025, it has been noted that W.M.P.No.21902 of 2018 was wrongly ordered, however, no order has been placed in the bundle and therefore, the Registry has sought for clarification.
3. This Court has perused the order dated 25.03.2025 as well as the original order dated 05.03.2025 and finds that the impleading petition was closed and it was not ordered. However, erroneously, in the order dated 05.03.2025, in the cause title, the respondent No.6 was shown to have been impleaded though no such order was passed. Further, in the being mentioned order dated 25.3.2025, in paragraph No.2 a recording has been
made that the impleading petition was wrongly ordered, but there is no clarity in the same. Therefore, it is made clear that no order was passed in the impleading petition in W.M.P.No.21902 of 2018 and the erroneous entry made in the cause title shall be deleted.
`4. Further, the impleading petition in WMP No.21902/2018 has not been closed. Accordingly, para-2 of the order dated 5.3.2025 shall stand modified as under :- " Recording the said submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to work out their remedy in the manner known to law. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions and WMP No.21902/2018 are closed."
5. The matter is clarified accordingly. Registry is directed to issue fresh order copy to the parties after carrying out the aforesaid corrections. 29.07.2025 ssb
