Decided: 30 April 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: ARIF S DOCTOR

Holding

The interim applications are disposed of as they no longer survive following the transfer of the proceedings to the NCLT.

Summary

The High Court noted that the proceedings concerning interim applications filed by the petitioners, Ramesh Rajaram Salunkhe and Ankush Shivaji Jawalkar, had already been transferred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). Consequently, the court held that the interim applications no longer survived. The court therefore disposed of both interim applications without further hearing. No substantive merits of the applications were considered. The order was pronounced by Justice Arif S. Doctor on 30 April 2026.
