They 2 4-IAL.29792.2026++.doc submit that in the similar facts, the coordinate Bench has allowed the application of the respondents therein for extension of time to comply with the order. They further submit that similar indulgence be granted in these Interim Applications. 2. Mr. Aseem Naphade, the learned counsel for the Applicants in some of the Interim Applications has provided a chart indicating therein the delay caused in compliance of Clause 2(b) of the consent order dated 7th November 2026 passed in this Court in Writ Petition No.4444 of 2025. The chart provided by the learned counsel for the Applicants is taken on record. 3. The learned counsel for the Applicants submit that these Interim Applications may be allowed in terms of the order dated 9th July 2026 passed in Interim Application (L) No. 19453 of 2026. 4. For ready reference, the order dated 9th July 2026 is reproduced below: - “1) Leave to amend to effect necessary corrections in prayer clause and corresponding pleadings, granted. Amendment be carried out forthwith and in any event during the course of the day. 2) By this Interim Application, the Applicant is seeking extension of time to comply with Paragraph No.2(a) of Order dated 7th November, 2025. Paragraph No.2(a) of the said Order dated 7th November, 2025 reads as under:- “2(a) At the Special General Body Meeting of the members of Respondent No.2 scheduled for November 12, 2025 (“SGBM”), the following agenda item shall be added and taken up for consideration. “The members of the MCA shall, within a period of 4 (four) months from the date of passing of this resolution, ensure compliance of Regulation 3(A)(g) of the MCA Memorandum of Association & Rules and Regulations.” 3) Mr. Bookwala, learned senior counsel for the 3 4-IAL.29792.2026++.doc Applicant submitted that, after the said Order dated 7th November, 2025 was passed, owing to the confusion on the part of the Applicant’s Trustees, with regard to the terms of its compliance, time was consumed in taking legal advise and that caused the delay of 2 months in complying with the said Order. He submitted that, the above said reasons are pleaded in the Application. 4) Satisfied with the explanation offered, we are of the opinion that, the Applicant is entitled for the relief prayed for in the prayer clause (a). 5) Application is accordingly allowed in terms of prayer clause (a).” 5. So far as other issues are concerned, we are not inclined to delve into the same as the Interim Applications are pressed for extension of time only and condonation of delay. 6. In view of the above, all the Interim Applications are allowed and disposed of in terms of the order dated 9th July 2026 passed in Interim Application (L) No. 19453 of 2026 which is extracted above. Consequently, the delay caused in compliance of Clause 2(b) of the consent order dated 7th November 2026 passed in this Court in Writ Petition No.4444 of 2025 is condoned and further time of three months is granted to the concerned/respective Applicants to comply with the aforesaid order. 7.
