Ceat Ltd. v. Vikas Vilas Kanchan
Case brief
What is this about?
Group disposal of 19 writ petitions by CEAT Ltd. & Ors. against individual respondents (including Ashok Chintaman Sakpal, Ramdaras Lalchand Kumhar, Jayawant Sitaram Parab, Manoj Ravji Surve, Balu Vishnu Shinde, Nihal Vasant More, Ramakant Govind Mangaonkar, Rajendra Krishnaji Bhosale, Rajesh Bhailal Thakur, Richard D’souza, Ramadular Subhakaran Singh, Vikas Vilas Kanchan, Jagannath Jayaram Shetty, Sachin Dhruvbal Parab, Ajay Chandrakant Raul, Nehru Mitharam Rajbhar, Raj Kumar Kadam, Anand Shetty, Padmanabh Veerappa Salian). After part-hearing, counsel Mr. Anand Pai sought leave to withdraw with the question of law left open; Ms. Gayatri Singh, Senior Advocate appeared for the respondents. Sandeep V. Marne, J. (10 September 2025) permitted withdrawal and disposal, allowed refund of the Court deposit with accrued interest, and directed payment of amounts due under the impugned judgment and order within four weeks with 8% per annum interest from 23 August 2020; respondents to furnish details within two weeks. No statute or precedent cited; no merits ruling — question of law expressly left undecided, so the judgment carries no citable ratio on the underlying legal issue.
