P.C. :

1.

Heard Mr. Mahesh Rajpopat, learned Advocate for the Applicant. He submits that Respondent No. 2 was granted anticipatory bail by the Special Judge under TADA (P) on 24.12.2025 by relying on the No Objection as also the Memorandum of Understanding dated 13.12.2025 executed between the Applicant herein and Respondent No. 2. However, instead of referring to "part goods amounting to Rs. 1,56,200/-", referred to as "entire goods". Aggrieved by the said observations, the Applicant filed an Application bearing No. 737 of 2025 before the Special Court seeking correction of the said error. By order dated 06.01.2026, the Special Judge has rejected the said Application.

He submits even Respondent No. 2 has given No Objection.
