Case Overview
- Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 23966/2026 filed by Hemalata Eknath Pise (Petitioner) was called for hearing on 13 Oct 2026 before Registrar Sh. Apurv Singh.
- Respondents: Shubham Bahu‑Uddeshiya Sanstha Waddhamna & Ors. (Respondents Nos.1‑3), a fourth respondent represented by Advocate Ms. Shwetal Shepal on behalf of Mr. Aaditya Aniruddha Pande, and a fifth respondent who did not appear.
- Service of notice to Respondents Nos.1‑3 was completed in August 2026. They were granted a final two‑week period to file a counter affidavit; if filed, it will be taken on record, otherwise further opportunity will be declined.
- Service to Respondent No.4 was also completed in August 2026. Ms. Shwetal Shepal, appearing as Advocate‑on‑record, requested time to file a vakalatnama within one week and a counter affidavit within two weeks as the last opportunity. The same conditions of acceptance apply.
- Service to Respondent No.5 was completed in August 2026, but no appearance was made.
- After the expiry of the two‑week period for filing counter affidavits, the Registry is directed to process the matter for listing before the Hon'ble Court as per the rules.
- A copy of this Record of Proceeding is to be furnished to the concerned Advocate‑on‑record for information and compliance.
Final Outcome
- Respondents Nos.1‑3 and No.4 are given a strict two‑week deadline to submit counter affidavits (with an additional one‑week deadline for Respondent No.4 to file a vakalatnama). Failure to comply will result in the opportunity being declined. Respondent No.5’s non‑appearance leads to the matter being scheduled for listing after the deadline expires.
