Order Date: 11th September 2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Applicant – EMA Cricket Club; Petitioners – Shripad R. Halbe & Anr.; Respondents – J. S. Saharia & Anr.
- Multiple interim applications were filed (L No. 26343, 29511, 29833, 29838, 29863, 29875, 29878, 29953, 30055, 30069, 30079, 30093, 30125, 30127, 30760, 30773, 30915, 30967, 30974, 31050, 31126, 31298, 31528 of 2026) seeking extensions of time to comply with a consent order.
- The consent order dated 7 Nov 2026 (issued in Writ Petition No. 4444 of 2025) required the members of Respondent No. 2 to ensure compliance with Regulation 3(A)(g) of the MCA Memorandum within four months of the resolution passed at the Special General Body Meeting on 12 Nov 2025.
- Applicants argued, via a chart submitted by counsel Aseem Naphade, that confusion among trustees and the need for legal advice caused a two‑month delay in complying with Clause 2(b) of the consent order.
- The learned counsel for the applicants relied on a coordinate bench order dated 9 July 2026 in Interim Application (L) No. 19453 of 2026, where a similar extension was granted.
Final Outcome
- The Court, after reviewing the submissions and the precedent order, allowed all the interim applications.
- The delay in compliance with Clause 2(b) of the consent order dated 7 Nov 2026 is condoned.
- Each applicant is granted an additional three months from the date of this order to fulfill the compliance requirement under Regulation 3(A)(g).
- All interim applications are disposed of in accordance with the 9 July 2026 order.
