IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.553 of 2004 M/S Gaya Coke Company Pvt. Ltd., through its Managing Director Ashok Kumar Singh, son of Sri Babban Singh, resident of Lakhibagh, P.S. Muffasil, Gaya, District- Gaya ------ Petitioner-Appellant. Versus 1. The Coal India Limited, through its Chairman, Head Quarter, Park Street, Kolkatta. 2. The Regional Sales Manager, Regional Sales Office, Coal India Limited, Azad Bhawan, Sri Krishnapuri, Patna. 3. The Central Coalfield Limited (C.C.L.), through its Chairman-cum-Managing Director, Darbhanga House, Ranchi. 4. The Chief General Manager, Central Coalfield Limited, Darbhanga House, Ranchi ---- Respondents – Respondents. ------------ 4. 25.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the appellant, and learned counsel for the respondents. This appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Patna raises a grievance with respect to the order dated 12.3.2004, passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court, in C.W.J.C. No. 3783 of 2002( M/S Gaya Coke Company Pvt. Ltd. V. The Coal India Ltd. & Ors.), whereby the writ petition along with the analogous writ petitions were disposed of with the direction to the respondent Company to supply coal to the petitioners keeping in view the directions given by the Jharkhand High Court in the case of M/S Maya Fuel Pvt. Ltd. We may make it clear that the impugned order disposed of a large number of writ petitions, and the present 2 appeal is confined to C.W.J.C. No. 3783 of 2002. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the issues are concluded by an agreement inter-parties. In deed the Supreme Court had taken up the issues in question in the case of Ashoka Smokeless Coal India Limited vs. Union of India, 2007(2) S.C.C. 640, whereby the Union of India was directed to constitute a committee and take a policy decision. The committee so constituted had submitted its report, the policy decision was announced, and the parties have entered into separate agreements. We are convinced that the parties in the present case have also entered a valid agreement arrived at between the parties. In the result, we find that the cause of action for the appeal has dissolved during the pendencny of the present proceedings. It is accordingly disposed of in terms of the agreement inter-parties.
