Quick Summary: A court case involving a large amount of over 7 crores can now move forward after a long-standing pause was removed. The case is about a disagreement over transformer deliveries to Kenya.
The case started when Shakti Electricals, a company known for making and exporting electrical transformers, filed a lawsuit to get back over Rs. 7.7 crores. They had a deal to deliver transformers to Kenya, but disagreements over payments led to this legal fight.
Originally filed in 2012, the case was delayed because of various legal issues. The court had put a pause on the case in 2019, which stopped the proceedings. This pause was based on earlier decisions that temporary orders shouldn't last forever.
"A temporary pause granted by a High Court does not automatically end after a certain time if the case has not been finished."
Judges Mouhsumi Bhattacharya and Gadi Praveen Kumar looked over the case and decided that the previous pause was no longer needed. They noted that the law had changed since the original pause was issued. The new decision made it clear that pauses can't just end without a proper court decision.
The court decided that the pause should be removed. They encouraged both Shakti Electricals and the other party to continue with the trial and settle the disagreement based on the facts. The judges mentioned that the case had been dragging on for too long, and it was time to find a solution.
"The trial court should try to finish the case as quickly as possible according to the law."
The case will now continue in the trial court, with both Shakti Electricals and the other party given a chance to present their sides. The court wants to resolve the matter quickly, considering the case has been pending since 2012.
This decision is an important step towards resolving a long-standing business disagreement, making sure that justice is done without unnecessary delays.
