For Applicant(s) Advocate : Mr. Sujit Kumar, Proxy counsel For Respondent(s) Advocate : Mr. Sunil Kumar Order of The Tribunal Heard proxy counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for the respondents. ?Proxy counsel, Mr. Sujit Kumar, has drawn the attention to MA number 313/2026 that has been filed for early hearing of the instant OA in view of the order passed by the Hon'ble High Court of Patna in CWJC number 17497 of 2025, that has directed this Tribunal to hear and finally dispose of the case within a period of 5 months. This tribunal has taken up the matter today, but the counsel for applicant himself is not present who is supposed to argue thus causing hindrance to this early hearing. ?

Since, the matter is taken up today so the MA No. 313 of 2026 stands disposed of. Looking at the record, we also find that there is another MA i.e., MA No. 764 of 2023 that was also filed for early hearing. The MA also stands disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. In the meanwhile, the applicant has also filed a supplementary application on 29.09.2026 for placing on record rules that he perceives necessary for proper adjudication of this OA. A copy of this application has already been supplied to the counsel for respondents who has acknowledged the receipt of the same and seeks time to file its reply. Accordingly, he is being directed to file reply to the supplementary application, positively, on or before the next date of hearing. List this case on 02.12.2026.
