The court held that lapse of leave under Order 52 rule 3(2) does not deprive the court of jurisdiction to grant fresh leave in the same proceedings; the July 2015 applications were fresh and properly constituted; non-payment of fees (if any) amounted at most to an irregularity that could be cured; alleged non-disclosure was innocent or immaterial and did not warrant setting aside the July Orders; respondents' summonses were dismissed and leave was granted to the Secretary for Justice to fix substantive hearing dates for the consolidated actions.
