Bombay High Court

MR. GOPAL GANPAT SAMRITversusMR. PANDURANG ATMARAM PAI (SINCE DECEASED) AND ORS.

Decided: 3 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The interim applications were allowed, and the revision applications were scheduled for final hearing on 18 September 2026.

Summary

The court considered two interim applications filed by Gopal Ganpat Samrit and Madhukar Vishnu Talekar seeking to expedite the hearing of their civil revision applications (Nos. 425 of 2014 and 695 of 2014) against the estate of the deceased Pandurang Atmaram Pai and others. The applicants contended that delay would prejudice their rights, while the respondents raised no substantive objection. The bench examined whether procedural rules permitted granting interim relief to set a final hearing date. Finding no impediment, the court allowed both interim applications, directing that the revision applications be listed for final hearing on 18 September 2026. The interim applications were thereafter disposed of.
