Bombay High Court, Commercial Division (SOMASEKHAR SUNDARESAN, J., March 27, 2026) — Interim Application No. 382 of 2026 in Commercial Suit No. 112 of 2023 (Iris Computers Pvt. Ltd. v. Max Publicity and Communication Pvt. Ltd.). The Interim Application sought restoration of Commercial Suit No. 112 of 2023 pursuant to the Learned Single Judge's order dated October 1, 2025 permitting it, and was filed within the permitted three-month period. The Respondent opposed, pointing out that the costs of Rs.25,000/- per Interim Application imposed by paragraph 2 of the order dated September 30, 2025 remained unpaid. Holding compliance with that payment imperative, the Court allowed restoration provided proof of payment of costs is provided to the Registry, with payment to be effected no later than two weeks from upload of this order; failing payment, without any further reference to the Court, the Interim Application would stand dismissed and the proceedings would not stand restored. The Interim Application was disposed of in those terms.

Interim Application to be filed. It is evident that the Interim Application has been filed within the period of three months as permitted.

There is stringent opposition to the Application on the part of the Respondent. The main contention is that one day before the order dated October 1, 2025, the Learned Single Judge had also imposed costs of Rs.25,000/- per Interim Application, to be paid in terms of paragraph 2 of the order dated September 30, 2025. It is stated that these costs have not been paid and the objections have not been removed.

Since instructions are now being received from the Plaintiffs to pursue the matter, it would be imperative that the payment of costs, as directed in paragraph 2 of the order dated September 30, 2025 is complied with. The restoration is allowed provided proof of payment of costs is provided to the Registry.

Such payment of costs shall be effected no later than a period of two weeks from the upload of this order on the website of this Court.

It is clarified that if the costs are not paid, without any further reference to the Court, the Interim Application would stand dismissed and the proceedings would not stand restored. The captioned Interim Application is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
