Mr. Kantak, learned Senior Counsel for the applicant points out that liberty was granted to the applicant to seek modification of our order dated 31.08.2021 in case the GCZMA disposes of a show cause notice dated 17.06.2019 on terms favourable to the applicant. Mr. Kantak points out that the GCZMA now disposed a show cause notice.
