Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited v. Reliance General Insurance Company Limited
Case brief
What is this about?
Refusal to entertain/circulate an interim application before a bench subject to a subsisting ‘Not before me’ (recusal) order dated 22-11-2024 (“Not before the Bench of which Justice Arif S. Doctor is a member”). Bombay High Court, OOCJ; IA No. 6606 of 2025 in Commercial Suit No. 1341 of 2018; insurance-sector commercial dispute between Future Generali India Insurance Co. Ltd. (Applicant/Plaintiff, through Rashika Bajpai i/b Khaitan & Co.) and Reliance General Insurance Co. Ltd. (Defendant, through Ashutosh Desai i/b AZB & Partners). Matter not taken up; no merits, no statutory provisions, no precedents, no monetary reliefs. Keywords: circulation, bench restriction, recital of prior order, P.C. order.
What did the court decide?
The Court declined to take up the Interim Application: although circulation of the matter was sought by the Advocate for the Applicant, a pre-existing 'Not before me' order (passed on 22nd November 2024, directing “Not before the Bench of which Justice Arif S. Doctor is a member”) meant the Court was unable to take up the matter. No merits were adjudicated and no relief granted.
