Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 04-08-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Radha Milind Chimurkar
- Respondents: Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd & Others
- Origin: Special Leave Petition (C) No. 18934/2026 arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 03-02-2026 in WP No. 328/2017 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Bombay at Nagpur.
- Application: IA No. 165387/2026 – exemption from filing O.T.
- Proceedings: The petition sought special leave to appeal the High Court’s order. The High Court had observed that the petitioner submitted false information and labeled the petitioner as a “dishonest litigant.”
- Supreme Court Findings: The Court was not inclined to entertain the Special Leave Petition and dismissed it. While dismissing, the Court noted that a finding of false information does not automatically render the petitioner a dishonest person. Consequently, the last line of paragraph‑38 of the impugned order stating “the petitioner appears to be a dishonest litigant” was deleted. The remainder of the High Court’s order remains intact.
- Pending Applications: Any pending applications, if any, were ordered to stand disposed of.
Final Outcome
- The Special Leave Petition was dismissed.
- The statement labeling the petitioner as a dishonest litigant was removed from the High Court’s order.
- All pending applications in the matter were disposed of.
