Bombay High Court

DEEPAK ISHWARIPRASAD AGARWALversusAJINKYA CONSTRUCTION LLP

Decided
Disposal
Dismissed

Holding

The court restored the dismissed Civil Revision Application, subject to payment of costs.

Summary

Deepak Ishwariprasad Agarwal filed Civil Revision Application No.170/2026 but failed to comply with the court's order to amend the pleadings, leading to its dismissal for non‑compliance. He subsequently filed Interim Application No.7043/2026 seeking restoration of the dismissed revision petition, arguing that the lapse was inadvertent and that his substantive rights would be lost if the petition remained dismissed. The respondent contended that the applicant had negligently failed to make the required amendments despite being directed to do so. The court, after considering the submissions and the importance of the substantive rights involved, ordered that the Civil Revision Application be restored, subject to a cost of Rs.5,000 to be paid to the Library of Small Causes Court, Mumbai. The interim application was disposed, and the revision case was listed for hearing on 9 October 2026.

inadvertently, the applicant failed to carry out the amendments and
submits that the substantive rights would be lost in the event of the

                      3.              Learned   counsel   appearing    for    the     respondent      has
                      submitted that the conduct of the applicant is far from satisfactory
                      and that he has failed to carry out the necessary amendments. She
                      submits that it was responsibility of the applicant to bring on record
                      the new names and addresses of the applicant. After providing for
                      the same, the applicant had failed to carry out necessary
                      amendments.

                      4.              Considering the submissions and considering the facts that
                      substantive rights are involved in the matter, the Civil Revision
                      Application is restored to file, subject to the cost of Rs.5,000/- to be
                      paid to the Library of Small Causes Court, Mumbai.

                      5.              Interim Application stands disposed of accordingly.

                      6.              List the Civil Revision Application for hearing on 9th
                      October, 2026.
