- The matter was listed on 24-09-2026 before a two‑judge bench comprising Hon’ble Mr. Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Nongmeikapam Kotiswar Singh.
- Counsel for the petitioner, Ms. Bina Madhavan of Lawyer S Knit & Co, submitted that the entire arrears of rent had been paid, contrary to the wording in paragraph 2 of the order dated 08-09-2026 which incorrectly stated that only 50 % of the amount had been deposited.
