Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 31-07-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Sunteck Private Realtors Limited; Respondent: Bandra Sea Breeze Apartments Co‑Operative Housing Society Limited.
- The petition seeks special leave to appeal (C) Nos.25028‑25029/2026 against the Bombay High Court judgments dated 06‑04‑2026 (IA No.36439/2025) and 18‑04‑2026 (CAA(L) No.35818/2025).
- Petitioners contend that the Division Bench of the High Court neither decided the merits under Section 37 of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996 nor allowed the arbitrator to consider interim measures, effectively foreclosing their rights.
- Senior Counsel highlighted paragraph 6 of the impugned order (dated 06‑04‑2026), which states that a development agreement entered on 22 Sept 2025 with a third party (not a party to the arbitration) should not preclude the arbitrator from entertaining a specific‑performance prayer.
Final Outcome
- The Court issued notice, returnable on 19 Aug 2026.
- Liberty was granted to serve the notice by dasti in addition.
- The status‑quo as of the hearing date (31‑07‑2026) shall be maintained until 19 Aug 2026.
