Rakesh Malhotra Through Attorney Holder vs Rajinder Kumar Malhotra and Ors

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

In this case, the appellant challenged orders of the Bombay High Court that had withdrawn interim protection and dismissed an appeal for alleged non-cooperation. The Supreme Court allowed a delay, granted leave, and remitted the matter back to the High Court for reconsideration on merits. The Court directed that the High Court ignore the prior dismissal order and decide the appeal on its substance, and maintained that interim protection would continue until the High Court's final decision. The appeals were disposed of with this direction and no orders on costs.
