1.

This matter has been circulated before this Court seeking modification of the order dated 3rd February, 2026, submitting that although this Court has permitted amendments to the Contempt Petition in terms of prayer Clause (a), however, the original Contempt Petition is not traceable in the Registry and that this Court may permit the said amendments to be carried out in the certified copy of the said Contempt Petition.

2.

Mr. Dsouza, learned Counsel for the Contempt Petitioners submits that since the Contempt Petition was filed by an earlier Advocate, he is not aware as to why the original Contempt Petition is Digitally signed by NIKITA YOGESH GADGIL Date:

2026.02.27 19:32:06 +0530 not traceable. Learned Counsel submits that the Registry has informed NIKITA YOGESH GADGIL Nikita Gadgil 1/2
