Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the applicant was not impleaded as a party to the writ petition, for which the points raised in the recall application could not be properly represented before the court when the order under recall was passed. Learned senior counsel for the applicant contends that the limited scope of the writ petition itself, bearing WPA No. 6697 of 2021, was re-activation of the Directors Identification Number (DIN) of the writ petitioner. The premise of such contention was centered around the deactivation of the writ petitioner's DIN and the reliefs sought in the writ petition pertained to .....

Hence, as a result of the re-activation of the writ petitioner's DIN, the ROC could not refuse to approve, register and record or prevent the documents filed by the writ petitioner from being available in the registry for public viewing. Such portion of the order, as challenged in the present recall application, was a necessary consequence of the re-activation of the writ petitioner's DIN, it is argued. 6.

However, it is specifically admitted in paragraph no. 18 of the writ petition that the petitioner is taking appropriate steps in respect of the marking of the respondent no. 4, that is, the Tirupathi Properties & Investment Private Limited as having management dispute. Thus, the marking of the company as having management dispute was not the subject-matter of the writ petition but that of an appropriate challenge before a different forum.

Thus, although the portion of the order under recall, by which the deactivation of the writ petitioner's DIN was set aside, was justified since there was due compliance of the liabilities of the writ petitioner as director of the company-in-question, the latter portion of the order under recall, setting aside the operation of the order dated June 24, 2016 of the ROC, was in contravention of the Circular dated February 10, 2012 and, thus, bad in law. 15.
