Delhi High Court
64,767 judgments
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.
Carlos Alberto Perez Lafuente v. UOI & Ors.
The Delhi High Court held that the 48-month limitation for filing a request for examination of a patent application under Rule 24B(1)(i) is mandatory, must be computed from the earlier of the priority date or filing date, and delay beyond this period cannot be condoned, resulting in deemed withdrawal of the application.
Vipin Kumar Jain v. Ram Babu Jain & Ors.
The Delhi High Court held that a Hindu female's life interest in property with a pre-existing right converts into absolute ownership under Section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act, setting aside a preliminary decree dividing property shares without adjudicating the validity of competing Wills.
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.
