Bombay High Court

MS CHARULATA SURYKANT VEDAK AND ORSversusMRS. MEGHANA NISHIT MURDESHWAR

Decided
Disposal
Disposed Off

Holding

The Court held that although the delay may be condoned, the grounds presented are not maintainable in a review petition, leading to its rejection.

Summary

The petitioners filed an interim application seeking condonation of delay in filing a review petition against an order dated 7 February 2025 that dismissed their appeal challenging an interim injunction. The review petition was filed by the original defendants who wanted the order granting the injunction to be reconsidered. The Court observed that the grounds raised in the review petition were essentially the same as those that could be raised in an appeal and therefore could not be entertained in a review proceeding. While the Court found sufficient cause to condone the delay, it held that the review petition could not proceed on the merits. Consequently, the interim application for condonation was allowed, but the review petition was rejected.

Issues considered

  • Whether the delay in filing the review petition can be condoned.
  • Whether the grounds raised in the review petition are maintainable in a review proceeding.

Subjects

  • review petition
  • condonation of delay
  • interim injunction
