Authority: High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh
Order Date: 09 July 2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Punjab Health System Corporation (appellant) versus Bhupesh Kumar and others (respondents).
- The appellant filed an appeal (CM‑4167‑LPA‑2026) which was subsequently withdrawn before the bench of Justices Harsimran Singh Sethi and Amarinder Singh Grewal.
- Counsel for the appellant sought liberty to file a review petition should the withdrawal not achieve the desired outcome.
- A separate application (CM‑4167‑LPA‑2026 in XOBJL‑1‑2026) sought condonation of delay in filing cross‑objections; the affidavit supported a 98‑day delay.
- Respondents had also filed cross‑objections (XOBJL‑1‑2026) and requested disposal of those objections following the appellant’s withdrawal.
Final Outcome
- The court ordered the appeal to be dismissed, granting the appellant liberty to file a review petition, with the provision that if the review is unsuccessful, an appropriate appeal may be filed.
- The application for condoning the 98‑day delay in filing cross‑objections was allowed, effectively permitting the cross‑objections to be revived if the appellant later reinstates the appeal.
- All pending miscellaneous applications, if any, were also ordered to stand disposed of.
