The Court has also noted that the Petition dated 11/12/2024 in HCCHRPET/E686/2024 is almost entirely word-for-word identical to the Petition dated 02/01/2025 in the present matter as is the Application dated 11/12/2024 in that other matter when compared with the present Notice of Motion Application dated 02/01/2025.
