Order Date: 6 October 2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Gupta Polymers Industries and others (plaintiffs) vs. All India Rubber Industries Association and another (defendants).
- Case Numbers: CS/138/2025 IA No. GA/1/2026.
- The matter was adjourned at the time of plaint presentation because a settlement was being contemplated, as indicated by the plaintiff’s counsel.
- Plaintiff’s counsel, Ms. Aishwarya Rajyashree, informed the court that the parties had settled, eliminating the need to present the plaint.
- The plaint had only been filed in the Central Filing Section and assigned a number; formal institution of the suit requires presentation and admission after departmental scrutiny, which had not occurred.
Court Directions
- The department is directed to return the plaint to the plaintiff together with the court fees after completing all formalities.
- Following the return, the department must de‑register the suit number from the court’s database so that the suit no longer appears as pending.
- The application GA/1/2026, filed in the same proceedings, is deemed infructuous in the present circumstances and will not be entertained.
Final Outcome
- The suit is effectively closed through settlement; the plaint is to be returned with fees, and the suit number will be removed from the pending case register.
- The related application GA/1/2026 is dismissed as infructuous.
