In Brief
Vodafone Mobile Services Ltd challenged the recall of interim protection granted by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana in a criminal complaint proceeding. The High Court had vacated the interim order when the petitioner's counsel was not ready for final hearing. The Supreme Court held that interim protection should continue pending expeditious disposal of the High Court's recall petition, balancing procedural fairness against the interests of justice, on the condition that the appellant not seek adjournments and cooperate for expeditious disposal.
