Case Note & Summary

The Supreme Court of India, comprising Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice K.V. Viswanathan, pronounced a reportable order on 07-10-2025 in Writ Petition (Civil) No.295 of 2012, filed by S. Rajaseekaran against Union of India and others. The matter involved a writ petition where various directions were passed as contained in the reportable order. The record of proceedings indicates that the court issued procedural directions without detailing the substantive relief. The court directed the Registry to list the matter after a period of seven months to report compliance of the directions and further progress. Additionally, upon mention by Mr. Kishan Chand Jain, learned counsel appearing for the respondent(s), seeking urgent listing of IA No.43387/2025 and IA No.119142/2024, the Registry was directed to list the said interlocutory applications on 17-11-2025. The order sheet records appearances of numerous advocates for petitioner and respondents, and notes Mr. Gaurav Agrawal, Senior Advocate, as amicus curiae. The bench pronounced the order and the signed reportable order was placed on file. No substantive legal issues, arguments, or ratio decidendi are available in the provided excerpt; the court's decision was limited to procedural directions for compliance and listing. The judgment favor is neutral, as the court did not adjudicate on merits but issued administrative directions. The procedural history shows the writ petition was filed in 2012 and remained pending until this order. No previous decisions, acts, sections, or case law are mentioned in the text. The court's order is reportable, indicating some significance, but the content of the directions is not extracted here. The matter will next be listed after seven months for compliance reporting, and the two IAs are scheduled for 17-11-2025.
