Final Outcome

  • IA No. 193990/2023: Dismissed as having no merit.
  • IA No. 173194/2026: Dismissed because a prior order of the Chief Justice of India dated 12 Mar 2026 had already rejected the early‑hearing request; consequently, nothing survives in the application.
  • Both dismissals were signed by Deputy Registrar Court Master Anita Malhotra (with assistance of Nikita Singh) on 27 Oct 2026.
