Second, he

To sum up, he submits that this Petition is rendered infructuous in view of the several other orders passed in the proceedings which orders have attend finality for not being challenged within the period prescribed.

Faced with the said objection raised by Mr. Ashwin Thool, learned Special Counsel for the Respondent No.2, Mr. Majeed Memon, learned Senior Advocate for the Petitioners, requests for time till 30 April 2026.
