Decided: 23 April 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: N R BORKAR

Holding

The Court held that the petitioner may file an interim application seeking modification of the order.

Summary

Anuraag Agarwal filed Writ Petition No. 1531 of 2025 and Contempt Petition No. 663 of 2025 before the Bombay High Court. The Court had earlier disposed Writ Petition No. 3224 of 2026 by an order dated 16 July 2026. The petitioner subsequently moved a Praecipe on 17 July 2026 seeking modification of that order, stating that he was not asking for a ‘speaking to the minutes’ but for a change in the order. The Court examined whether a modification of the earlier order could be entertained. It granted leave to the petitioner to file an interim application for modification of the order. Consequently, the Praecipe was disposed.
