2. It is noticed that the impugned order was issued by invoking a repealed provision of law.If the order that is impugned in the instant writ petition is found to be non est in the eye law, the same cannot be cured by way of corrigendum.
3. In view of the above, the submission of the respondents seeking time to issue a corrigendum notice to cure the inherent defect in the original order cannot be accepted by this Court.
4. The order dated 03.08.2026 is ex facie bad in law and liable to be set aside. The same is, accordingly, set aside.
