Ashok Kumar Singh & Ors. v. Dhrub Prasad Singh
Case brief
What is this about?
Delhi High Court, Rajneesh Kumar Gupta J., 03.02.2026, CM(M) 3588/2024 (& CM APPL.59740/2024): Article 227 petition by Ashok Kumar Singh & Ors. v. Dhrub Prasad Singh challenging Trial Court order dated 21.09.2024 in CS DJ No. 466/2019, which took admission-denial affidavits on record, deemed the issues (GPA sale, benami transaction) purely legal, and fixed arguments for 18.11.2024 instead of continuing trial/evidence; Court held the order procedural, findings pending, no effect on parties' rights; petition dismissed as devoid of merit with pending applications.
What did the court decide?
At this stage, the impugned order dated 21.09.2024 does not in any manner affect the rights of the parties, as the findings are yet to be given by the Trial Court in the suit; accordingly, the Trial Court's step of hearing the apparently purely legal issues before deciding the matter did not warrant intervention under Article 227.
