AI extract

What is this about?

The High Court of Chhattisgarh recalled an interim order dated 18.01.2016 in W.P. (L) No. 111 of 2014.

Consequently, the limitation plea in the pending writ petition became unsustainable. The court restored the writ petition to its original number for hearing and disposal

What did the court decide?

Recalled the order dated 18.01.2016. Restored W.P. (L) No. 111/2014 to its original number for hearing and disposal.
