Holding
The Court may amend its earlier interim order upon a valid application and may dispose of applications as infructuous where appropriate.
Summary
Manisha Purushottam Naiknavare, as legal heir, filed Interim Application No. 5790 of 2026 seeking amendment of the Court's order dated 10 May 2024. The Court examined the application and, finding merit, allowed it, directing that the amendment be effected within two weeks from the date of the order. Consequently, the interim application was disposed. In the same order, the Court also addressed Interim Application No. 4112 of 2025, taking it on board and subsequently rendering it infructuous, thereby disposing of it as well. No statutes or precedents were cited in the reasoning. The order was pronounced by Justices M. S. Karnik and S. M. Modak.
