Authority: High Court of Judicature at Bombay
Order Date: 21 October 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution and Company Limited (MSEDCL).
- Respondents: M/s. Bhagwandas Ispat Pvt. Ltd and others.
- The petition (Civil Writ Petition No. 1705 of 2011) sought relief concerning premises owned/occupied by the respondents.
- During the pendency of the petition, the respondents were ordered to be liquidated by the National Company Law Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench.
- Counsel for the petitioner submitted an email dated 15 October 2026 (marked ‘X’) asserting that, despite liquidation, any subsequent purchaser of the premises might claim recovery and therefore the petitioner's substantive contentions should remain viable.
Final Outcome
- The Court disposed of the writ petition as infructuous, noting that the liquidation of the respondent company made the challenge moot.
- The Court expressly clarified that if any future purchaser of the premises seeks recovery, the petitioner's contentions on the merits will be kept open for consideration.
