These matters have been listed today in the “to be mentioned” category.
Admittedly, both the writ petitions filed on behalf of the Union of India were decided by this Court without issuing notice to the contesting respondents. This fact has not been denied by counsel appearing on behalf of Union of India as well as other intervenors.
In that view of the matter, these review petitions are allowed and the order passed by this Court dated 05.04.2018 is recalled.
Both the writ petitions are restored to their original numbers. Office is directed to list the original petitions on 29.01.2026.
