Case Summary: WP/4449/2026 The High Court at Bombay (Nagpur Bench) dismissed Maharashtra State's writ petition challenging a District Court order that refused to permit filing a written statement beyond the 120-day deadline under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015. The court rejected the State's argument that administrative exigencies and its status as a government party warranted an extension, holding that the Commercial Courts Act applies uniformly to all litigants regardless of whether they are state or non-state parties, and the Commercial Court lacked jurisdiction to extend the statutory deadline. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
