Case brief
What is this about?
Bombay High Court, Civil Appellate Jurisdiction; JITENDRA JAIN, J.; decided 17 January 2026; Manisha Chemicals & Ors. (Applicants/Appellants) v. JSW Steel Limited formerly M/s. Jindal Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. (Respondent); Interim Application No. 13594 of 2025 in First Appeal No. 1197 of 2017; restoration of appeal; self-operative order dated 4 October 2017; dismissal effective 8 November 2017; condonation of delay; delay of more than 7 years (8 December 2017 to 19 September 2025); claimed delay of 195 days rejected; deposit of Rs.30 lakhs in two installments of Rs.15 lakhs (by 24.10.2017 and 07.11.2017); Trial Court order directing payment of Rs.30 lakhs; order not modified or challenged; Kayamuddin Shamsuddin Khan vs. State Bank of India (1198) 8 SCC 676 distinguished/not applicable; interim application dismissed.
What did the court decide?
The delay of 195 days calculated by the applicants-appellants is incorrect; the actual delay is from 8 December 2017 to 19 September 2025, being more than 7 years, and no reason is given for such delay; therefore the interim application is dismissed on this ground itself.
