UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
1. Delay condoned.
2. The Award dated 23.08.2026 passed during the Samadhan Samaroh was made having regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of this particular case, without treating it as a binding precedent in any other case. Even otherwise, the awards passed by this Court in Samadhan Samaroh do not have any precedential value. It is clarified that we are not inclined to recall the Award, even though the authorized officers were not present or the officers who were present were not duly authorized to appear. Additionally, it is also directed that no punitive action shall be taken against the officers concerned in connection with the passing of the Award.
3. Miscellaneous Application stands disposed of with pending application(s), if any.
