Order Date: 30-09-2026
Case Overview
- Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 33501/2026 filed by the State of Odisha against M/S. G.R. Infra Projects Limited, arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 12-08-2026 in CMP No. 1206/2026 passed by the High Court of Orissa at Cuttack.
- The matter also involved an earlier Arbitration Appeal No.01 of 2026, where an order dated 19 May 2026 was passed by the District Judge, Khurda at Bhubaneswar.
- Additional Solicitor General (ASG) submitted that the High Court order did not consider the grounds raised in the arbitration appeal and that the CMP No.1206/2026 filed in the High Court was digitally signed by Anita Malhotra on 01 Oct 2026 at 19:05:33 IST.
- ASG sought liberty to withdraw the present Special Leave Petition and to file a Review Petition in the High Court, highlighting the omission.
Observations & Reasoning
- The Court noted the ASG’s request to withdraw the petition and the justification that the High Court order omitted consideration of the arbitration appeal grounds.
- No further substantive analysis of the merits was undertaken as the petition was to be withdrawn.
Order
1. The Special Leave Petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty granted to file a Review Petition in the High Court.
2. In the event of an adverse order in the Review Petition, the petitioner will have liberty to challenge both the main order and the order in the Review Petition.
Final Outcome
- The petition is formally withdrawn; the petitioner retains the right to approach the High Court with a Review Petition and, if necessary, to contest any unfavorable outcomes thereafter.
