Order Date: 23-09-2026
Case Overview
- Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (Criminal) No.17112/2026 filed by Inderjit Singh against Iris Computers Limited, arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 18-05-2026 of the High Court of Punjab & Haryana (CRM‑M No.33371/2017).

Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court did not disturb the High Court order and disposed of the petition.
- The petitioner is directed to appear before the Trial Court and file an appropriate application regarding the delay.
