Upon consideration of submissions advanced by learned counsel for parties and perusal of material on record, particularly the impugned order dated 17.03.2025, it is evident that the same has been passed on an ex parte basis since it does not disclose issuance of any show cause notice to petitioner or providing any opportunity of Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Sajjad Husain, Kulsoom Firoz, Sanjay Shukla Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.
