Case Overview
- Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 21018/2025 filed by The Chief Executive Officer, The UdgiR Urban Cooperative Bank Limited, UdgiR & Anr, arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 13-06-2025 in WP No. 14672/2023 of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay, Aurangabad, against respondents Babhubali Bhusan Dolchipure Haverikar & Ors.
- The petition sought exemption from filing counter‑affidavit and other reliefs; notice to respondents was issued on 30-10-2025.
- Petitioners requested permission to file a counter‑affidavit nearly ten months after the notice, arguing it was unjustified.
- The Court, comprising Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Hon'ble Mr. Justice R. Mahadevan, found the prayer "totally unjustified and unreasonable" and held that the time for filing a counter‑affidavit commences from the date of notice.
Final Outcome
- The Court declined the petitioners' request for a ten‑month extension but, as a last indulgence, allowed the respondents to file the counter‑affidavit on or before 24-09-2026.
- The order was digitally signed by Court Master Sachin Kumar Srivastava on 19-08-2026, with assistance from Anjali Panwar, Assistant Registrar.
