UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

IA No. 21658 of 2025

Our attention is invited to the order passed in

SLP(Civil)Diary No.49103 of 2024.

In view of the stay granted in this petition (Writ

Petition No.1394 of 2023), it is obvious that no post

facto clearances on the basis of OMs dated 19th February,

2021 and 7th July, 2021 can be granted as the same have

been set aside by the order impugned in SLP(Civil)Diary

No.29103 of 2024. No benefit of OM dated 28th January,

2022 can be granted in view of the interim order dated

2nd January, 2024. Even if the applications are pending

seeking ex-post facto clearances on the basis of these

OMs, the same shall be processed. However, final order

granting approval/clearance shall not be passed till

further orders.

The application is accordingly disposed of.

5
IA No.8064 of 2025 and
IA Nos.13975 and 13953 of 2024

The learned senior counsel appearing for the

applicants state that they are not pressing these

applications at this stage.

RE: APPLICATIONS FOR INTERVENTION

As far as the applications for intervention are

concerned, we will permit the intervenors to argue for a

limited time at the time of final hearing.

List for hearing on 2nd April, 2025 on the top of the

cause list.
