SHRI RAFIQUL ISLAM . vs BAIDYANATH MUKHERJEE . — C.A. No. 2446/2000

Summary of Civil Appeal No. 2446 of 2000 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on April 19, 2006, with no order as to costs. The appeal challenged a Calcutta High Court judgment from 1988, which had already been addressed in a related case (Civil Appeal No. 1449 of 2000) dismissed in April 2005. Reasoning: The Court held that subsequent developments cited by appellants cannot justify challenging a High Court judgment; any challenge must be based on facts existing when the judgment was rendered. The Court noted appellants could pursue appropriate proceedings in other forums if new circumstances warrant it.
