On 27th April, 2026, the learned Counsel for the Applicant in APL/191/2024 and for Respondent No. 2 in APL/790/2024 1/3

had mentioned the matter and requested the Court not to pronounce the orders, as the Applicant had came across a document which indicated that, there was compliance of the provisions contained in Section 102 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

4.

Today, Mr. Jain the learned Counsel informed the Court that, the Applicant has applied for the certified copy of the said document, and the certified copy has yet not been furnished. Mr. Jain prays for further time to produce the document. 5.

Since the matter was extensively heard and posted for orders today and in view of the submissions that, after the matter came to be closed for orders, the Applicant came across a document which indicates the compliance of the provisions contained in Section 102 of the Code, 1973, by way of indulgence, this Court allowed the Applicant to make submissions, today. Thus, the prayer for further time to produce the document and defer the pronouncement of order, cannot be countenanced.

Post the matter for pronouncement of order on 07th May, 2026.

In the meanwhile, if the Applicant intends to produce a copy of the above referred document, the Applicant is at liberty 2/3
