Additionally, another application for an urgent hearing was submitted, numbered I.A. 14728/2025, which accompanied the main suit CS(OS) 379/2025.
The Court noted that the case had previously been unable to proceed due to the late payment of required court fees, resulting in an adjournment without a new date. However, the court recognized that the situation had now changed, as the fees had finally been paid.
The Court then provided further instructions for the next steps to be taken by the plaintiff.
Justice Kathpalia directed that if the plaintiff completes the necessary formalities by the following day, summons and notices must be issued to all defendants. He added that the case would be heard again on June 23, 2025.
