1.

Not on board. Taken on board.

2.

The application has been moved on behalf of the RespondentContractor, who was earlier represented by Mr. Gawade, seeking clarification of the Laxmi

501 WP 651-25.DOC order dated 19th November 2025, insofar as paragraph 2 thereof is concerned. In paragraph 2, the following observation was made:- "2.

In this view of the matter the structural audit be undertaken and completed as expeditiously as possible and in any event on or before 15th January 2026."

3.

We do not find that any clarification of the aforesaid observation is required. We are not accepting the contention of the contractor that the structural audit would mean only an examination of the plaster. A structural audit is a wellknown concept and pertains to the examination of the structural stability of the building, which is required to be carried out by VJTI. Accordingly, no clarification is warranted, including in the context of what has been observed by this Court in paragraph 1 of the said order. We direct VJTI to strictly comply with and complete the audit within a period of two months from today. The returnable date is accordingly extended by eight weeks.
