If two or more SLPs are filed against the same order of the high court which is under challenge (i.e., for example, where there were more than one parties in the high court, who are aggrieved by that order), then they are heard together. Sometimes, parties on both sides in high court are aggrieved by HC order due to varying reasons and file their counter SLPs; such SLPs are also heard together.
Likewise, when the same or similar question of law is raised in two or more SLPs, the same may be heard together, even if facts may be different. If the relief claimed is same or similar, or if the main issues raised are same or similar, then also the SLPs may be heard together.
