Analysis: The High Court judgment pertains to a writ petition challenging the decision of the Assistant Director (Enforcement Directorate) for not providing a copy of ECIR despite applications made by the petitioners. The Court noted that while respondent No.2 was named in the petition, he was not impleaded in his official capacity, which should have been done since the relief was sought against the Assistant Director. The petitioners claimed that the failure to provide the ECIR was arbitrary and irrational, but they did not seek quashing of the action. Consequently, the Court granted two weeks to the petitioners' counsel to rectify the procedural errors and make the record clear if advised to do so. The matter was released from being part-heard and scheduled for further listing after the given period.
