Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 26-10-2026
Case Overview
- Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 36898/2026 filed by K.S. Mani Electricals against Ganesh Electricals, arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 30-07-2026 in CRP No. 4812/2023 passed by the Madras High Court.
- The petitioner also sought exemption from filing a copy of the impugned judgment (IA No. 320639/2026 and IA No. 327470/2026).
- The High Court had earlier disposed of CRP Nos. 4807 and 4812 of 2023 by a common final order dated 12-06-2025. The matters were later listed on 30-07-2026 under the caption “For Being Mentioned” without any counsel representation for the respondents, despite their names appearing in the cause list.
- Counsel for the petitioner argued that the engagement of counsel could not be presumed after the disposal of the revision petitions and that the High Court’s observations in paragraphs 9 and 10 of the impugned order would prejudice the petitioner’s rights in the pending suit, as the order was passed without notice.
- Coram: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sandeep Mehta and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya.
Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court stayed the operation and effect of the High Court order dated 30-07-2026 in CRP No. 4812/2023 and the order dated 09-09-2026 in CRP No. 5551/2026 pending further proceedings.
- The Court directed that notice be issued to the respondent, Ganesh Electricals, to be returned within six weeks.
