The matter was adjourned to today after this Court had, on 10 th September 2026, passed the following Order: “1. This is a First Appeal of the year 2012. Mr. Wassodew submits that, in view of the fact that the Appellants were not proceeding with the matter, this Court had vacated the ad-interim relief that was initially granted in this First Appeal. He, however, fairly points out that, in a challenge preferred by the Appellants before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the Respondents consented to the earlier ad-interim order dated 5th September 2012 being continued. 2. Mr. Wassodew has today briefly apprised me of the scope of the present First Appeal. He submits that, the Appeal having been pending since 2012, the same may be taken up for hearing and disposed of finally. 3. At his request, Stand over to 8th October, 2026. No further time shall be granted. “ 2. Today, despite the fact that this matter had been specifically listed for hearing and final disposal, making it expressly clear that no further time shall Areeb MOHAMMAD AREEB MOHD AKBAR Digitally signed by MOHAMMAD AREEB MOHD AKBAR Date: 2026.10.09 10:28:36 +0530 2/2 26-FA-671-2012 (C).DOC be granted, Ms. Dharamshi, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Appellants, has made a request for an adjournment. The reason stated is that the arguing Counsel is overseas. 3. Mr. Wassodew has opposed the grant of time and has pointed out that the Appellants have, on one pretext or another, been seeking time. He has invited my attention to various Orders, including the previous Orders, which bear this out. 4. However, even so, my previous Order, passed just over six weeks ago, made it expressly clear that no further time shall be granted. Hence, I am unable to accept this request. Therefore, this Appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. [ARIF S. DOCTOR, J.] Areeb
