Interim Application No. 3389 of 2022 1.

This is an interim application for intervention at the instance of Vijay Gangadhar Borage. Mr. Apte, learned senior advocate appearing for the applicant has invited our attention to paragraphs 4 and 5 of the writ petition and ground 'E' in support of the relief claimed therein for demonstrating that the petitioner has made direct allegations against the applicant.

Writ Petition No. 3484 of 2022 with Interim Application St. No. 14544 of 2022 4.
