1.

In Civil Application No. 7198/20, the applicant has put forth prayer clause (B) as under:

"(B) This Hon'

ble Court may kindly grant permission to implement resolution No. 131 passed by Ad-hoc Committee in the meeting dated 14.03.2023, pursuant to which post-fact sanction has been granted for purchase of medicines." 2.

We are informed that the learned Principal District Judge, Ahmednagar, Ex-officio Chairman of Ad-hoc Committee constituted by the High Court, has given his sanction to the said resolution. A post - facto sanction is being sought in the matter of purchase of medicines.

In this circumstance, insofar as medicines are concerned, this would be the only occasion on which we would be considering the request as set out in the prayer clause (B).

In view of the above, and with the caution that such request would not be repeated, this application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (B).
