ASHA SUNDRIYAL Date: 2025.10.17 Reason:

order passed by the High Court.

However, we make it clear that the observations made by the High Court with respect to the fresh sanction may not be required for deciding the lis. Therefore, the said observations will have no bearing on the further proceedings.

Accordingly, the said issue is left open.

The Special Leave Petition is, accordingly, disposed of.

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.

Diary No(s). 45939/2025 In view of the delay in filing the Special Leave Petition, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order.

However, we grant liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh application, in which case the Trial Court shall decide the same on its own merits without being influenced by its earlier order or the impugned order passed by the High Court.

The Special Leave Petition stands dismissed both on delay as well as on merits.

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
