Protective order continued and made absolute, with compliance with prior directions kept mandatory.

A protective order was continued and made absolute because the only recorded grievance was non-production of relevant documents in response to summons. The appellants remained bound to produce documents in their custody, and no misuse of the interim protection after its grant was alleged. The order was therefore maintained, while compliance with the earlier directions was expressly preserved.

Issues: Whether the protective order granted earlier was to be continued and made absolute, subject to compliance with the directions already issued.

Analysis: The only grievance recorded on behalf of the respondents was non-production of relevant documents pursuant to the summons. The appellants were noted to be bound to produce documents in their custody, but no misuse of the interim protection was alleged after its grant. In that background, the earlier order was directed to continue, while preserving compliance with the prior directions.

Conclusion: The earlier protective order was made absolute, subject to compliance with the directions contained in the subsequent order.
