Bank of Baroda SLPA Dismissed, Extension Granted

Authority: Supreme Court of India

Order Date: 18-06-2026

Petitioners Narbada Prasad Jhanwar & Anr. filed Special Leave Petition (C) No.21280/2026 against Bank of Baroda & Ors., arising from the High Court of Madhya Pradesh's final judgment and order dated 11-05-2026 in IA No.8990/2026.
The petition was heard by a two‑judge bench of Hon’ble Justices S.V.N. Bhatti and Atul S. Chandurkar on 18‑06‑2026, with counsel for both sides present.
Respondent counsel argued the petition was not maintainable; petitioners had earlier sent a letter, digitally signed by Rashi Gupta, incorrectly stating that the Supreme Court had stayed the impugned order.
Petitioners' counsel, Mr. Jayprakash Bansilal Somani, offered an unconditional apology for the erroneous communication.

The Court, after perusing the record, found no ground for interference under Article 136 of the Constitution and therefore disposed of the Special Leave Petition.
The petitioners were granted an additional four weeks from the date of the order to comply with the conditions imposed by the High Court.
All pending applications, if any, were also ordered to stand disposed of.
