SHHARAD SINGHANIAversusSAPNA SHHARAD SINGHANIA ALIAS SAPNA KEDIA

Decided: 5 October 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The Registrar's order dismissing the writ petition for non‑compliance is quashed and the petition is restored to the file.

Summary

The petitioner, Shharad Singhania, filed an interim application seeking restoration of Writ Petition (Stamp) No. 8569 of 2026, which had been dismissed for failure to comply with an order dated 29 June 2026 issued by the Registrar (Judicial-I). The petitioner argued that the dismissal was improper and that the petition should be reinstated to allow further pleadings. The Court, after hearing counsel, examined the reasons for non‑compliance and the procedural propriety of the Registrar's order. Finding merit in the petitioner's submissions, the Court quashed and set aside the Registrar's dismissal order. Consequently, the interim application was allowed, the writ petition was restored to the file, and the matter was listed for further hearing on 4 November 2026.

Issues considered

Whether the order of the Registrar dismissing the writ petition for non‑compliance can be set aside?
Whether the writ petition should be restored to the file pending further compliance?
