                                Versus

                                            CORAM :       ARIF S. DOCTOR, J.
                                            DATE       :  27th AUGUST, 2026

                        P.C.

                        1.      This Interim Application seeks to amend the address of the
                        Defendants to the captioned Suit. Learned counsel submits that
                        a copy of this Interim Application has been served upon the
                        Defendants. He also undertakes to file Affidavit of Service. His
                        undertaking is accepted.

                        2.      Having perused the averments made in the Interim
                        Application, I find that the same is entirely formal in nature and
                        would have to be allowed. Accordingly, the Interim Application is
                        allowed in terms of prayer clause ‘a’, which reads thus:

                                   “(a) That this Hon'ble Court be pleased to allow the
                                   amendment as per the Schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit
                                   'A';”
                        3.      Amendments to be carried out within a period of two weeks
                        from today. Reverification is dispensed with.




                                                                    [ARIF S. DOCTOR, J.]
