Bombay High Court

India through The General Manager Central RailwayversusSumanbai Shankar Raut

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SHAILESH P BRAHME

Holding

Since the first appeals were disposed, no cause of action remained and the civil applications were dismissed.

Summary

The Union of India, represented by the General Manager of Central Railway, filed several civil applications (Nos. 13430, 13435, 13521, 13699, 13528, 13523, 13531 of 2024) against various respondents. All the applications were linked to first appeals (Nos. 687‑700 of 2026) that had already been disposed of. The Court examined whether any relief could survive after the disposal of those first appeals. It held that, with the first appeals fully resolved, there was no remaining cause of action in any of the civil applications. Consequently, the Court ordered that the civil applications be disposed of as nothing survived. The order was pronounced by Justice Shailesh P. Brahme on 18 April 2026.

Issues considered

Whether any civil application remains maintainable after the disposal of the corresponding first appeal.
