Summary

Abracadabra India filed a writ petition (No. 2968 of 2024) in the Bombay High Court challenging certain actions of the Union of India and other respondents. The petition sought multiple reliefs, including a specific prayer (a) which the court noted had already been finally decided by the Supreme Court. Consequently, the court held that prayer (a) was not pressed before it. Arguments were heard on the remaining reliefs, but no substantive merits were decided.
