Bombay High Court
RELIANCE GENERAL INSURANCE COM. LTD.versusMR. NILESH SURAKANT DUKHANDE AND ANR.
- Decided
- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
The appeal was rejected and, as a result, the stay application does not survive.
Summary
The High Court of Bombay considered a civil application filed on 29 June 2026 seeking condonation of delay in a First Appeal (ST) No. 20150 of 2019. The Registrar had earlier ordered the disposal of that application, resulting in the First Appeal being entered in the Rejection Register. Consequently, the subsequent Civil Application for Stay (CAF No. 287 of 2020) could not continue. The Court affirmed that once an appeal is rejected, any pending stay application related to that appeal ceases to exist. No substantive merits of the original dispute were addressed, as the matter was purely procedural. The order was signed by the Registrar (JUDL‑II).
Issues considered
- Whether the application for condonation of delay in the First Appeal can be entertained after the Registrar's order.
- Whether the stay application (CAF No. 287 of 2020) survives after the First Appeal is entered in the Rejection Register.
Subjects
- condonation of delay
- civil procedure
- rejection register
- stay application
- procedural dismissal
