Raghubir Saran Charitable Trust v. Raymond Ltd.

Counsels for the parties jointly state that due to bonafide inadvertence, the photographs of Boards No.5 & 6 have not been enclosed with Annexure A-1. They hand over a duly signed copy of the document reflecting the screenshots of Boards No.5 & 6, which is taken on record.
