ORAL ORDER

The present Note for Speaking to Minute is filed pursuant to the order passed dated 15.10.2025 stating that in the said order in para:80, inadvertently it is transcribed as “Hence, it is done only with the reason to”.

Having gone through the contents of the Note for Speaking to Minute, it appears that the sentence ““Hence, it is done only with the reason to” is inadvertently transcribed. It is ordered to be deleted and para:80 be read as “80. This is also because, if the Plaintiffs do not claim through the Firm, they do not obtain any right to sue.”. Note for Speaking to Minutes is allowed and it is disposed of accordingly. Rest of the order shall remain intact. Fresh writ be issued accordingly.
