The situation is simple:

All the three hostnames (irc, lists, and www.aunet.org) resolve to
Thaths' server. Thaths has defined a virtual domain for
lists.linux-india.org. And he hasn't done anything about
irc.linux-india.org since he doesn't expect anyone to connect there
with HTTP. So when you connect, you get the default page for the
machine, which is the aunet page.

It's not as if Thaths has intentionally made that domain also point to
aunet, he just hasn't (yet?) defined a virtual domain for it.
