Holding
The court allowed the interim application and fixed the writ petition for disposal on 21 October 2026.
Summary
The petitioner, Satguru Corporate Services Pvt. Ltd., filed an interim application seeking an early hearing and a fixed date for the final disposal of its writ petition that has been pending since 2014. The High Court, after hearing counsel for both sides, noted the long pendency and the nature of the controversy. The court allowed the interim application and ordered that the writ petition be listed for disposal on 21 October 2026. No substantive merits of the writ petition were decided; the order merely schedules the case for final hearing. The application was therefore disposed of in favour of the petitioner’s request for an early hearing.
