Bombay High Court

PUNE MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTversusSUCHITRA ASHOK DHUMAL AND ORS.

Decided: 23 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The court granted a stay of the judgment for eight weeks subject to the respondents withdrawing fifty percent of the amount fixed with interest and providing an undertaking.

Summary

Satish Ramchandra Sangar filed a first appeal (No. 1944 of 2005) before the High Court of Bombay challenging a prior judgment. After the judgment was pronounced, the appellant’s counsel sought a stay of that judgment. The court considered the application and the respondents’ opposition. It granted a stay for eight weeks, conditioning it on the respondents withdrawing fifty percent of the amount fixed by the court, together with interest, and furnishing an undertaking to return the amount if directed. The order thus temporarily suspends the operative effect of the earlier judgment pending compliance with the stipulated conditions.

Issues considered
