The order came after arguments at length before the district court of Mansa on the plea of the parents of Moos♎ewala, who were successful in securing an ex-parte ad-interim order against Salim Sadruddin Moledina Merchant and Sulaiman Sadruddin Moledina Merchant, popularly♔ known as Salim-Sulaiman.

The parents of Moosewala were represented by senior advocate Amit Jhanji, briefed by a team from Karanjawala & Co, lead by partners Samarjit Pattnaik 🌊and Meghna Mishra along with their teams.

T𝕴he parents have instituted a suit for permanent injunction against Salim-Sul💟aiman and their company Merchant Records Pvt Ltd along with certain other entities and digital platforms.
