Siddharth Mahavir SPML Through P.O.A. Dellip Vijaykumar Kotecha vs Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation Through Executive Director — 1/2024

SUMMARY: The District Court of Khamgaon rejected the defendant's application seeking rejection of the plaintiff's commercial suit. The court found that although Section 12-A of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 mandates pre-litigation mediation, this requirement does not apply when urgent interim relief is sought—which the plaintiff did by filing a temporary injunction application. The court held that the suit is not barred by law and dismissed the defendant's application with cost in favor of the plaintiff.
