At the threshold of hearing, the Learned Advocate for the Opposite Party No. 2 raised a critical preliminary objection, contending that the present application suffers from fundamental and incurable procedural defects, specifically citing the want of a proper affidavit and affirmation. It was submitted that such a grave lapse renders the application incompetent and mandates its immediate dismissal.

The Learned Advocate for the Petitioner, acknowledging the procedural deficiency, prayed for the indulgence of the Court to grant leave to file the application afresh in compliance with the requisite norms.

This Court, having heard the submissions and examined the nature of the procedural flaw,
