please change "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar" to "Aurangabad"

The article says "Aurangabad officially known as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar" but it is officially "Aurangabad". Please refer court order in NEWS artcile below:

1.It’s Aurangabad for now, says HC: https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/bombay-hc-restrains-use-of-chhatrapati-sambhaji-nagar-as-aurangabad-s-new-name-in-official-communication-pending-petition-decision-101682362577949.html

2. Status quo on Aurangabad name-change continues till Bombay HC verdict https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/status-quo-on-aurangabad-name-change-continues-till-bombay-hc-verdict-123051700359_1.html

Some anti-social elements are trying to change it name. I would request you to revert it back to "Aurangabad".

change Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar Every government organization and webpage has named the district as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar then why Wikipedia has still kept this old and redundant name? Change the name everywhere on the Wikipedia page. Also on any related pages. 111.125.231.89 (talk) 18:15, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the discussion above regarding Bombay High Court hearing on the name change, and another source [1]. Secondly, the name change discussion wasn't in favour in the last discussion a few months back. So no. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The local governing body i.e., City Corporation passed a resolution on name change in 1995. On 29 June 2022, the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra cabinet approved the renaming of Aurangabad to Sambhaji Nagar, after Sambhaji Bhosale, the second Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire. which was approved by the government on 16 Sept 2023 103.79.252.185 (talk) 04:34, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
