Mahindra & Mahindra Seeks Dealer System Restoration

Authority: Court (presided by Chief Justice G.S. Sandhawalia and Judge Bipin C. Negi)

Order Date: 17 July 2026

Case Overview

• Parties: Petitioner – Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd; Respondent – M/s Naveen Auto Store Sole Proprietery.
• Nature of Proceeding: Petition challenging a prior order of a learned Single Judge that directed the restoration of the dealer management system.
• Allegations / Dispute: Mahindra & Mahindra contends that the underlying agreement with Naveen Auto Store had terminated, rendering the Single Judge’s directive to restore the dealer management system unwarranted.
• Advocates for Petitioner: Senior Advocate Sunil Mohan Goel, Mr. Vipul Sharda, Raditya Katoch (in person), Mr. Pragalbh Bhardwaj, Ms. Deepika Kumari, and Ms. Prachi Agnihotri (through video conference).
• Observations: The petition emphasizes that the contractual relationship ceased, and therefore any judicial intervention to reinstate the dealer management system lacks legal basis.

Final Outcome

• The Court ordered that a notice be issued to the respondent, Naveen Auto Store, to respond to the petition.
• The notice is returnable by 25 August 2026.
• The respondent must take the required steps within one week of receiving the notice.
