Calcutta HC Orders SE Review Within 45 Days

Authority: Calcutta High Court, Circuit Bench at Port Blair

Order Date: August 10, 2026

Case Overview

• Petition: A. Vanitha (petitioner) vs The Superintending Engineer and Another (respondents) under writ petition WPA/401/2026.
• Representation dated 10‑01‑2026 submitted by the petitioner, seeking relief from the Superintending Engineer.
• Court heard counsel for both sides, noted no affidavits were called, and therefore deemed the allegations denied without examining merits.
• Court directed Respondent No.2 (the Superintending Engineer) to consider the representation, provide a hearing, allow production of relevant documents, and pass a reasoned order.

Final Outcome

• Respondent No.2 must communicate its reasoned order to the petitioner within 45 working days from receipt of the server copy of this order.
• If the reasoned order finds sufficient merit in the petitioner’s representation, the authority is directed to take the consequent action promptly.
• The writ petition is disposed of without prejudice to the merits, and the petitioner’s allegations are deemed denied.
