Summary: On December 9, 2025, the Delhi High Court allowed M/S Ananyaa Space Design and Consultants to present more documents in their ongoing legal battle with M/S Ranjit Interior. Justice Girish Kathpalia overturned an earlier decision, allowing the evidence with a condition of paying Rs. 25,000 in costs.
The disagreement between M/S Ananyaa Space Design and Consultants and M/S Ranjit Interior is about getting money back for work done. Initially, on January 4, 2025, the Commercial Court rejected a request by M/S Ananyaa Space Design and Consultants to add more documents, saying they were submitted too late.
"The explanation was that the lawyer handling the case left the firm, so the documents were not found."
M/S Ananyaa Space Design and Consultants argued that the documents, such as emails, site photographs, and audio-video recordings, were important for the case. They said these would show the quality and amount of work done by M/S Ranjit Interior. The court had originally rejected their request because of the delay.
Justice Girish Kathpalia decided to cancel the earlier order, allowing the documents to be used. However, M/S Ananyaa Space Design and Consultants must pay Rs. 25,000 to M/S Ranjit Interior as a condition. This decision was made because the trial was still in its early stages, with only one witness questioned by January 30, 2025.
"Considering the unique situation described above, the challenged order is canceled."
M/S Ananyaa Space Design and Consultants now have one chance to use these documents when questioning M/S Ranjit Interior's witness. The trial court will set a date for this, making sure both sides are ready.
The court's decision allows M/S Ananyaa Space Design and Consultants to present additional evidence, which could affect the outcome of the case. They must pay a fee as a condition for this allowance. The case will continue with these new developments.
