Judgment
O R D E R
¶1In paragraph 2 of the judgment of this Court dated 18 May 2022, it has been recorded that the Government had issued orders permitting NRI candidates to cure defects in attestation by 31 March 2022. This statement appears to be consistent with the facts set out in para 10 of the judgment of the Single Judge dated 4 April 2022.
¶2The State of Kerala has moved the application for modification stating that, as a matter of fact, there was no extension of the date for curing defects in attestation until 31 March 2022 and the last date was, in fact, 2 March 2022. Mr Nishi Rajen Shonker, learned counsel states that the above sentence in the judgment of this court has given rise to another proceeding in the High Court.
¶3The issue as to whether there was any extension of time beyond 2 March 2022 was not a matter for determination in the proceedings before this Court. The issue may, therefore, be decided in appropriate proceedings on its own merits on the basis of the record.
¶4The Miscellaneous Application is accordingly disposed of with the above clarification.
