    Summary: APOT/30/2026 – Turner Morrison Ltd v. Bharat Coking Coal Limited The High Court at Calcutta allowed Turner Morrison's appeal, setting aside the Single Judge's February 10, 2026 order directing a Commissioner to visit the disputed property. The court held that once the Commissioner and suit court had rejected the respondent's earlier identical request for property inspection on grounds of preventing "fishing out of evidence," the Single Judge could not reopen the issue suo moto at the same litigation stage, as principles of res judicata and judicial comity precluded such direction. The court emphasized that visual inspection by a non-expert advocate commissioner could not adequately assess building condition or possession without expert valuation reports.
