M/S CHETAK CONSTRUCTIONS LTD. vs OM PRAKASH — C.A. No. 7460/1995

Case Summary: Chetak Constructions Ltd. v. Om Prakash Court Decision: The Supreme Court set aside the High Court judge's order referring the case to the apex court for final decision. The Court found the judge's conduct inappropriate—though he rightly recused himself due to a potential conflict of interest (having purchased a flat occupied by respondent No. 3), his lengthy order contained uncalled-for personal observations and unsubstantiated accusations against the appellant's counsel. The appeal was remanded to the High Court at Jabalpur for fresh hearing before a different judge, with instructions that the new judge decide the case on merits uninfluenced by the previous judge's observations.
