In Brief
Sumangal Holdings challenged an order directing it to deposit arrears under Order XVA of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Supreme Court, after the suit had commenced trial, disposed of the appeal without deciding the substantive issues about Order XVA's scope or applicability to Small Causes Courts. The Court allowed respondents to approach the Trial Court regarding withdrawal of the deposited amount and requested expedited disposal of the underlying suit, leaving all parties' contentions open for trial court determination.
