A compact analysis

This page shows the compact analysis of this judgement. The full analysis — procedural history, issue-by-issue holdings with ratio and obiter, advocates, and paragraph-level evidence for every claim — is being added to the record in batches and will appear here when this judgement has been through it.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

This is an application for conversion of CMP to W.P.(C).

Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that since the matter arises out of a Land Acquisition proceeding, the CMP is not maintainable and it should have been registered as W.P.(C). He, therefore, prays for conversion of CMP to W.P.(C).

In view of the above, Registry is directed to convert the CMP to W.P.(C) and list it before the assigned Bench after the S.R.

The I.A. is accordingly disposed of.
