Case brief
What is this about?
Non-merits administrative order: Bombay High Court (Kulkarni & Sathe, JJ., 08.01.2026) acting on praecipe of respondent/SRA speaks to minutes of order dated 23.12.2025 and substitutes counsel's appearance for SRA across a large batch of writ petitions (WP 3140/2019 through WP(ST)/WP(L) matters of 2024–2025).

What did the court decide?
Praecipe allowed in effect: the appearance clause of the order dated 23 December 2025 was corrected — the earlier appearance recorded for respondent/SRA in the listed writ petitions was deleted and substituted with the appearance of Dr. Birendra Saraf, Senior Advocate, with Mr. Vishwanath Patil, Ms. Ravleen Sabharwal and Ms. Aarushi Yadav for the Respondents/SRA, and the corrected order was to be made available to the parties. Purely administrative correction; no merits adjudication.
