:

1.

Not on Board. Mentioned by way of filing praecipe dated 16.02.2026. Perused the praecipe.

2.

Heard Mr. Kadam, learned Advocate for Applicant; Ms. Shelake, learned Advocate for Petitioner and Mr. Chopra, learned Advocate for Respondent No.2.

3.

At the outset, Intervention Application is filed by the Society seeking expeditious hearing of Writ Petition since it affects rights and entitlement of the Society in the given facts of the present case. 4.

Though ad-interim relief was granted by the Court, the same

was never granted on merits. The ad-interim relief granted by State was simplicitor extended by the Court.

5.

Mr. Kadam would submit that there are certain intervening events pursuant to filing of Application for which Intervention Application requires to be amended. The said draft amendment is taken on record and marked 'X' for identification. The said draft amendment is allowed. Necessary amendment is permitted to be carried out within a period of one week from today. Reverification stands dispensed with. Copy of intervention Application shall be served on the parties alongwith amended portion. 6.

Petitioner is represented by Ms. Shelake. She would submit Petitioner be allowed to file Reply to amendment Application proposed by the intervenor. Such kind of request is unheard of atleast in this Court. The Intervention Application seeks to place on record certain subsequent incidents pursuant to the passing of the impugned order. It is required to be allowed since we are at a pre-hearing stage. Hence it is allowed.

7.

All Respondents are directed to ensure that they shall file their pleadings i.e. Affidavit-in-Reply since considering the exigency expressed by Mr. Kadam and humongous delay in this case, Petition shall be heard on 09.03.2026 which shall be noted by the parties. Pleadings in the intervention Application etc shall be filed by the

contesting parties and they shall also be heard finally by the Court. 8.

Liberty to mention on 09.03.2026 in the event if the matter does not reach.
