At the outset learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner does not press for the reliefs prayed for at prayer clauses “D”, “E” and “F” to the petition. The petition, therefore, stands dismissed in respect of the aforesaid reliefs relegating the petitioner to avail remedies available to the petitioner in law in respect of the said reliefs. 2. The petitioner, by this petition, vide prayer clause “C”, prays for directions to the respondents to decide the application submitted by the petitioner seeking correction of clerical error in the award dated 24.04.1987. 3. In the light of limited relief, which the petitioner has prayed for in the petition, we deem it appropriate to decide this petition finally at this stage. Accordingly, we issue rule making it returnable forthwith with the consent of the learned counsel of the parties this petition is heard finally at this stage. 4. According to the petitioner, the aforesaid applications, namely application dated 21.11.1997 and subsequent application dated 23.03.1999 are pending decision of the respondents. The petitioner has sought for correction of the clerical error which has inadvertently crept up in the award. Learned AGP, on instructions states that on account of passage of time the aforesaid applications are not trecable in the office of the respondents. We, therefore, {3} direct the petitioner to provide copies of the aforesaid applications to the respondents. This be done within two weeks from today. Since the applications are pending decision with the respondents, we direct respondents to decide the said applications, if the copies thereof are provided by the petitioner, within three months in accordance with law and after hearing all the concerned parties and communicate the decision thereon to the petitioner. 5. Rule is thus made absolute on the above terms with no order as to costs. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] [P.V.HARDAS, J.] drp/wp3202-09
