On the previous date of hearing, i.e. 10.12.2025, this Court

¶14

had passed the following order:-

¶15

“Ms. Pratibha Bali, AAG, Punjab, who is present in Court is directed to inform respondents no.1 and 2, regarding the pendency of the instant petition before this Court, enabling them to defend the instant petition.

¶16

Adjourned to 21.01.2026.

At this stage, it seems that the notice to PRTC has erroneously been issued, whereas, it should have been issued to the Punjab Roadways, Amritsar which is respondent no.4.

Ms. Pratibha Bali, AAG, Punjab, who is present in court, accepts notice on behalf of respondent no.4-Punjab Roadways, and waives service.

¶19

At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner pleads no instructions from the petitioner.

¶20
