The order has been passed on merits and the grievance of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the order is not sustainable in the eye of law. 5. Be that as it may, learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute that passing of the order dated 22.09.2025 on merits, gave rise a fresh cause of action, to assail the same on merits and in such eventuality, the respondents may not be held guilty for flouting the order dated 19.05.2025 more so deliberate and willful. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner prays for granting liberty to assail the order dated 22.09.2025 in accordance with law. 7.
