46,428 judgments

Ram Murti Bansal v. Union of India & Anr.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a writ petition seeking retrospective promotion after a 21-year delay, holding that delay and laches bar interference with settled seniority and promotion rights under Article 226.
Balvinder Kaur & Ors. v. University of Delhi & Ors.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a writ petition by legal heirs seeking retrospective promotion of a deceased lecturer due to inordinate delay, laches, and non-fulfillment of mandatory eligibility criteria under the Merit Promotion Scheme.
Sangeeta Jeswani & Ors. v. Oriental Bank of Commerce & Ors.
The Delhi High Court upheld the validity of a prior equitable mortgage and dismissed the petitioners' challenge to the recovery and sale of the mortgaged property, rejecting their bona fide purchaser and forgery claims.
MAS DEVELOPERS PVT. LTD. v. MAGUS CONSORTIUM ORCHID AVENUE (P) LTD.
The Delhi High Court set aside an arbitral award for lack of adequate reasoning and invalid termination based on delay where time was not the essence of the contract.
Nand Kishore v. DDA
The Delhi High Court dismissed the appeal seeking conversion of a temporary lease into a permanent lease over government-acquired land, holding that possession alone does not confer right to permanent lease absent a policy or obligation by the authority.
Nand Kishore v. Dilshad Public School and Anr.
The Delhi High Court held that proceedings before a Conciliation Officer under the ID Act are conciliatory and not judicial, thus withdrawal of claims there does not bar filing an appeal under the Delhi School Education Act, and dismissal of such appeal for non-disclosure was erroneous.
Odeon Builders Pvt Limited v. Engineers India Limited
The Delhi High Court held that Engineers India Limited is a proper party to the arbitration agreement with Odeon Builders and appointed an arbitrator under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996.
