No. 322 OF 2008 IN W.P.(C) No. 6410 OF 2007K = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st April, 2008. O R D E R The Review Petition has been filed by the respondents in the writ petition. The writ petition was disposed of on the assumption that proceedings under Section 61A of the Forest Act were pending before the authorised officer and on that basis, it was directed that on furnishing bank guarantee the machineries of the sawmill will be entrusted to the petitioner pending final orders. It is now pointed out by the learned Govt. Pleader that there was a mistake in the facts as projected before this Court in as much as, on 11.1.2008 itself, final order was passed in the proceedings under Section 61A of the Forest Act. The fact that a final order has been so passed is also obvious from the averments in the Contempt of Court Case No. 520/08 filed by the petitioner complaining of disobedience of the judgment. RP No. 322/08 inW.P.(C) No. 6410 OF 2007 -2- 2. Since final order has been passed under Section 61A the judgment rendered on the assumption that proceedings are pending is erroneous and hence is recalled. Review Petition is disposed of as above.
