    Case Summary: IA/1170/2026 The High Court at Bombay recalled its own February 23, 2026 order directing expedited trial, finding that Respondent No.2 (Prashant Mehta) obtained it through fraud and dishonest conduct. The court held that Respondent No.2 made false statements about witness examination, failed to impart that Applicant Niket Mehta was an accused requiring party status, and subsequently exploited the order in collateral proceedings with malafide intent, thereby justifying recall under principles permitting correction of orders procured through fraud.
