Katariya Infraproject Pvt. Ltd. & Anr vs Mr. Mukesh Kumar Jain
- CitationComp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 872 of 2025
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Adjudicating Authority, in disposing of an application, is required to consider each relief and concession pressed before it and to give reasons for refusing any of them; an order that grants certain reliefs while silently omitting others, without indicating consideration of the omitted reliefs or reasons for their refusal, is defective and cannot stand as a reasoned determination of the application. Where an impugned order fails to consider and give reasons on the reliefs claimed, the appropriate course in the interests of justice is to set aside that order to the extent of the omission, grant the party liberty to file a fresh application specifying the reliefs still pressed, and direct the Adjudicating Authority to decide that application afresh, expeditiously and without being influenced by the earlier order.

ORDER
(Hybrid Mode)
06.10.2025 Heard Ld. Counsel for the Appellant. This appeal has been
filed against the order passed by the Adjudicating Authority dated 16.05.2025
by which order Adjudicating Authority has disposed of the I.A. No. 249
(Ahmedabad) 2025 filed by the Appellant where the Appellant has prayed for
granting reliefs and concession and direction as per Annexure-H to the
application. The Adjudicating Authority by the impugned order has disposed
of the application and in para 9 has noticed the reliefs and concession which
has been granted.
2. Ld. Counsel for the Appellant submits that the Appellant has
prayed several other reliefs which were reflected in Annexure-H which has not
been considered. It is submitted that an additional affidavit has been filed on
behalf of the Appellant where comparative tabular chart in relation to reliefs
and concession sought by the Appellant which has not been granted has been
tabulated. Ld. Counsel for the Appellant submits that no reasons have been given by the Adjudicating Authority for not granting the reliefs as prayed in
Annexure-H.
3. We have also heard Ld. Counsel appearing for the Respondent
Mr. Sumant Batra.
4. We have considered the submission of Ld. Counsel for the
Appellant and perused the record.
5. When we look into the order passed by the Adjudicating
Authority, it is clear that the reliefs and concession are noticed in para 9
which has been granted. The reliefs and concession which were claimed where
larger reliefs and concession which is reflected from Annexure-H. But the
order does not indicate that there is any consideration of the said reliefs and
reason for refusal to grant the said relief.
6. In the facts of the present case, we are of the view that ends of
Justice be served in giving the liberty to the Appellant to file a fresh
application giving details of the reliefs and concession which Appellant still
want to press before the Adjudicating Authority. In event said application is
filed the Adjudicating Authority shall consider the same and pass a fresh
order without being influenced by the impugned order. We further observe
that the Adjudicating Authority shall consider the application and dispose of
the same expeditiously.
