M. Sreenivasulu Reddy And Ors. vs Kishore R. Chhabria And Ors. on 19 April, 1999
He therefore submitted that under the judgment of the Supreme Court in Mannalal Khetan v. Kedar Nath Khetan , the suit will survive for rectification and if during the pendency thereof, the acquisitions which were prima facie illegal were allowed to be acted upon, the relief will be rendered negative as held by the Supreme Court in Dorab Cawasji Warden v. Coomi Sorab Warden, , the last uncontested status is required to be maintained till the disposal of the case. In the present case, that has to be in the context of the taking over of the management. He therefore submitted that the injunction as sought was necessary. As far as developments subsequent to the filing of the suit are concerned, it is a moot question as to, to what extent it can be considered by the time the application for interim relief comes to be decided or by the time the suit comes to be heard and decided. There are judgments to canvass either of the propositions that they should be considered or they may not be considered. Mr. Nariman submitted that in either case, as far as the present proceedings are concerned, there are two show-cause notices prior to the suit and one subsequent which are both pending.
