I.A.No.2169/2018 In the present application filed under Order XXXIX Rule 2A CPC, it is stated that defendant no.85 did not allow the Local Commissioner to enter its premises. It is further averred that despite

knowledge of the injunction order, the said defendant still broadcast the matches without obtaining any license/permission from the plaintiffs.

The apology and offer of payment by counsel for defendant no.85 is accepted by this Court and the said defendant is directed to be more careful in future. Let the receipt of cost be filed within a period of one week thereafter.

Accordingly, the application stands disposed of. MANMOHAN, J MARCH 15, 2018 KA
