Holding
The court extended the time for removal of defects by four weeks.
Summary
The petitioner, Ajay Kumar Pandey, filed a modification application seeking an extension of time to cure defects identified in the order dated 23 September 2022 in Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No. 2117 of 2019. The original order had stipulated a deadline which the petitioner failed to meet. The petitioner argued for additional time, citing reasons detailed in the application. The court examined whether procedural rules permit extending the deadline for defect removal. Finding merit in the petitioner's request, the court granted a further four‑week extension from the date of the order. The order thus modifies the earlier decree by allowing more time for compliance.
