5 I do not see the authority of Pradeep Bhandari to sign the
consent terms for plaintiff no.1 and the letter of authority in favour of Vidyut Mankodi for plaintiff no.2 does not authorise him to sign the consent terms. Therefore, plaintiff no.1 and plaintiff no.2 shall file authorisation of Pradeep Bhandari and Vidyut Mankodi on or before 3 rd March 2021 under advise to defendants. Unless these directions and the direction contained in paragraph 1 above are complied with, this consent terms shall not come into effect.
6 All to act on authenticated copy of this order.
