Notice issued with service dispensed for some respondents, while the interim order was continued pending return

The SC issued notice, returnable in six weeks, and dispensed with service for the represented respondents and the nominee director who was no longer on the board. Counter affidavits and a rejoinder were permitted, and the interim order was directed to continue until the returnable date. The operative effect is that the matter was kept pending for further response while interim protection remained in force.
