Nos. 1246 of 2020, 559 of 2020, 619 of 2020, 827 of 2022, 782 of 2022 and 891 of 2022 along with S.L.P (C) No. 7023 of 2024 and Conmt. Pet.(C). No. 803 of 2024 in the week commencing 01.04.2025 before the three-Judge Bench.
All interlocutory applications for intervention/impleadment, except defective interlocutory application(s), stand allowed, 13 subject to all just exceptions.
We grant two weeks’ time to the learned counsel for the parties to cure the defects in the defective applications for intervention/impleadment.
Any fresh intervention application will be entertained only if the applicant(s) therein raise(s) new ground(s) or legal issue(s) not raised in the petition(s) already filed and a statement to that effect is made in such interlocutory application itself.
We are not inclined to issue notice in the fresh writ petitions. At the same time, we do not want to foreclose the rights of such parties to raise additional grounds. We, therefore, leave it open to the petitioners therein to file applications for intervention raising additional grounds, if any, in the pending writ petitions. We are constrained to pass this order as a large number of new writ petitions are being filed either on the same lines or raising new and additional grounds. There has to be a deadline for the filing of new writ petitions.
The writ petitions in which notice has not been issued, including W.P. (C). Nos. 846 of 2024, 131 of 2025, 135 of 2025, 137 of 2025, 118 of 2025 and 143 of 2025, will be treated as disposed of in terms of the present order with liberty as granted above.
Interim order shall continue to operate till the next date of hearing.
In the meanwhile, the pleadings, including counter affidavits/replies and rejoinders, shall be completed.
