1. We heard Mr. Tushar Mehta, the learned Solicitor General
appearing for the petitioner Trust and Mr. Navin Pahwa, the learned
senior counsel, assisted by learned counsel Mr. Nikhil Rohatgi,
appearing for the respondent no.1.
2. Para 5 of our order dated 28.01.2026 reads thus:-
“5. Today, all that we are directing is that the
authority concerned shall take a final decision insofar
as the proposal of the respondent no.1-claimant under
the Scheme is concerned. Let an appropriate decision be
taken in accordance with law keeping in mind the
parameters of the Scheme, more particularly the object
behind the same and the decision that may be taken
shall be placed before us by the next date of hearing.
If the authority concerned is of the view that the
claimant is entitled to seek appropriate relief under
the Scheme, then we may not have to adjudicate this
matter any further. It is only in the event that for
some good reason, the proposal of the respondent no.1-
claimant is not accepted, then we shall hear the matter
on its own merits. While considering the proposal, if
the authority deems fit, it may hear the petitioner
herein – Paradip Port Trust.”
