P.C. :

These matters have come up on Board by virtue of the administrative direction given by one of us (Chief Justice) when a copy of the order dated 20^th April 2026 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Petition(s) for Special Leave to Appeal (C) Nos.13787-13788 of 2026 was pleaced before the Chief Justice. It was pursuant to a direction given by the Chief Justice that the Registry collected necessary information of all pending matters in which one of

the parties was related to Lilavati Hospital Trust. The Registry also apprised the Chief Justice that as many as 13 Hon’ble Judges of this High Court have recused themselves and declined to hear one or the other matter. It was in this background that a Special Bench has been constituted for hearing the matters which are listed on Board from S. Nos.901 to 929. We are informed that some of these matters are pending before the Single Bench. A decision regarding posting of such matters may be taken by the Chief Justice on administrative side. We have asked the learned counsels appearing in these matters to provide the details of any other matter which has been left out and does not appear on Board today.

However, we are constrained to indicate that these matters may not be heard by this Bench.

Place these matters before a Bench of which one of us (Suman Shyam,J.) is not a member.

Post these matters tomorrow, that is, 6^th May 2026.

[SUMAN SHYAM, J.] [CHIEF JUSTICE]
