In Brief
Vishal Goyal sought to intervene in a High Court case (CWP No. 14927 of 2015) by filing an application for intervention in the Supreme Court, as he claimed he would be adversely affected by a July 2016 interim order. The Supreme Court allowed his appeal but held that impleadment is the proper remedy, not intervention. The Court directed Goyal to file an application for impleadment in the High Court within two weeks and also to seek modification of the impugned order. The Court requested the High Court to consider these applications and pass fresh orders expeditiously within three months.
