In a noteworthy development, an order dated August 28, issued by the former Chief Justice Pritinkar Diwakar, transferred the case from Justice Prakash Padia to himself. The reasoning behind the transfer was explained as the single judge's extended tenure, exceeding two years, despite lacking jurisdiction as per the roster. Justice Diwakar emphasized the decision's administrative nature, citing the importance of judicial propriety, discipline, and transparency in case listings. Following Justice Diwakar's retirement on November 22, Justice Agrawal inherited the case.
