Authority: Supreme Court of India, Registrar Court (Ms. Gracy L. Bawitung)
Order Date: 20‑08‑2026
Case Overview
- Transfer Petition No. 3056/2025 filed by petitioner Sohan Jasaram Chaudhary against M/s Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd.

- The Office report indicated that the service report from the Trial Court for the sole respondent was still pending.
- Respondent’s counsel, Ms. Anukanksha Singh (advocate‑on‑record for Mr. E.C. Agrawala), appeared and submitted that "M/s Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd" has now been renamed "Sammaan Capital Limited" and requested that this submission be taken on record.
