3. Practice Directions by HMJ Pratibha M. Singh
S.No. Suit Title Suit No. Date of Direction(s) Decision
1. Amrish Agarwal CM (M) 27.08.19 The TC’s order, taking on record the Legal v. Venus Home 1059/18 Proceedings Certificate relating to the trademark, Appliances Pvt. was challenged on the ground that evidence had Ltd. already concluded and the matter was at the stage of final arguments. The Court observed that in a trademark infringement matter, it is imperative for the Court to be able to see that the trademark itself is registered. Directions were therefore passed, specifying the documents, such as the Legal Proceedings Certificate, which ought to be filed along with the plaint in trade mark infringement matters. (Para 7)
2. Lalit Kumar v. CM (M) 29.08.19 The TC’s order, appointing an LC to seize the M/s Samsonite IP 737/19 alleged counterfeit products, was challenged on Holding SARL the ground that the name of Defendant No. 2 was mentioned as ‘Ashok Kumar’. The reason given for not specifying the name of the Defendant was that the Plaintiff was unaware of the name of the Defendant’s proprietor. In order to ensure that such grievances are not raised in the future, a direction was given that if the name of the proprietor of the Defendant or any other entity is not known, the trading name shall appear in the memo of parties as the name of the Defendant. (Para 7)
3. Satender Singh CM (M) 29.08.19 In view of the fact that several adjournments Rana & Ors. v. 1017/19 were taking place due to non-receipt or non- Gaon Sabha supply of copies of complete pleadings and Kadipur& Anr. documents, directions were passed in respect of
4 For Private and Internal Circulation Only
service of copies of documents/pleadings between counsels and court clerks. (Para 3)
4. BVG India Ltd. CM (M) 04.09.19 In this case, a handwritten notation had caused v. Navin Saini 1311/19 confusion as to whether only the dispute in the suit was settled or whether all the disputes arising under the agreements between the parties were settled. It was observed that the court which recorded the settlement ought to have perused the report and clarified the same prior to disposing of the suit. Direction was given to Mediators to not allow any handwritten notations or words, in the Mediation/settlement agreements, especially if the same are not countersigned/initialed by the Mediator himself. (Para’s 6&7)
5. PSA Nitrogen CM (M) 17.09.19 The TC’s order, rejecting the Plaintiff’s Ltd. v. Maeda 4/19 application for condonation of delay in filing the Corporation written statement to the Defendant’s’ counterclaim, was challenged on the ground that the counter-claim had not been registered. The Court clarified that a counter-claim is governed by the same rules as applicable to plaints under the Commercial Courts Act. Hence, it was observed that every counter-claim must be registered before summons can be issued and the time for filing the written statement runs from the date of service of summons. Directions were given prescribing the procedure to be followed for registration of counter-claims to ensure that there is no ambiguity in the timelines for filing of the written statement to the counter-claim. (Para 11)
6. Rajesh Aggarwal CM(M) 17.09.19 The TC’s order, permitting an amendment to the v. Om Prakash & 768/19 plaint, was challenged on the ground that it was Anr. highly belated. The Court observed that at the stage of final arguments the TC ought not to permit amendments in the plaint. (Para’s 4&5)
7. M/s Prakash Oil CM (M) 19.09.19 The question before the Court was whether the Corporation & 1002/18 admissibility and mode of proof of an exhibited Anr. v. document is to be decided at the final stage or BrijKishan during the trial itself - at the time when the exhibit mark is being put on the document. The
5 For Private and Internal Circulation Only
Court observed that the mere marking of a document as an exhibit does not amount to it being proved. Several judgments were relied on to clarify the procedure to be adopted in the case of exhibition of documents. Finally, it was observed that “allowing objections regarding exhibited documents to be captured in the statement of the witness and permitting cross examination to be conducted without prejudice to the objections raised, would strike the right balance between ensuring that the trial is not protracted and that the rights of the party are also not jeopardized”. (Para’s 10-14)
8. Veena Gupta v. CM (M) 30.10.19 The TC’s order, imposing costs on the Plaintiff Bajaj Allianz Life 1555/19 for non-appearance, was challenged on the Insurance Co. ground that the Junior Counsel’s appearance had Ltd. wrongly been recorded as ‘Proxy Counsel’, due to which the Plaintiff was considered as having not appeared. The Court issued directions clarifying when the term “Proxy Counsel” ought to be used.(Para 6)
9. Zile Singh v. CM (M) 06.11.19 This petition challenged an order of the TC by Santosh@Santra 1296/18 which the evidence of a witness was directed to & Ors. not be read, as no affidavit had been filed on their behalf and the evidence of another witness, who was present in Court, was not recorded, on the ground that the list of witnesses was not filed. In so far as the second witness was concerned, the Court held that “once witnesses are summoned and are present before the Court, with notice to the opposite party, the usual procedure ought to be to record their evidence rather than sending them back”. As regards the first witness, it was found that a non-existent affidavit had been exhibited. In view of these discrepancies in the recording of evidence, directions were passed, specifying the manner in which evidence must be recorded. (Para 14)
10. Ganga Ram v. CM (M) 22.11.19 Two grievances were raised in this petition. The Shekhar Kumar 1656/19 first was that the TC had accepted the Plaintiff’s witness’ evidence by way of affidavit without the Plaintiff having filed a list of witnesses. The
6 For Private and Internal Circulation Only
second was in relation to the de-exhibition of exhibited documents. With respect to the first grievance, while an exception was made in this case, it was observed that parties ought not to be permitted to commence evidence without having filed a list of witnesses. As regards the second grievance, it was observed that the mere exhibition of a document does not amount to it being proved. (Para’s 5-8)
11. Harwant Singh v. CM(M) 22.11.19 In this case, the written statement was taken on Govind Singh 1662/19 record, subject to costs. A demand draft was made out in the name of the Plaintiff, however, the same was not accepted on the ground that the costs were to be tendered in the name of the Plaintiff’s counsel. On the Plaintiff’s claim that costs had not been tendered, the written statement was taken off the record and additional costs were imposed on the Plaintiff. Setting aside this order, the Court held that - “Whenever orders are passed imposing costs on parties, unless there is any specific person in whose favour the costs are directed to be paid, it is understood that costs are to be in the name of the party in whose favour the costs are being awarded.”(Para 5)
12. Krishan Kumar CM(M) 29.11.19 The grievance in this petition was that the TC v. Shanti Devi& 1694/19 had settled the issues and also directed affidavits- Anr. in-evidence to be filed, without waiting for the Plaintiff’s to file their replication. After passing certain directions, specific to the case at hand, the Court observed that – “In order to avoid unnecessary delays and complexities, by framing issues prior to filing of replication, it is directed that in future, Trial Courts shall ensure that if permission for replication is being granted, issues shall be framed only after the replication is filed.”(Para 4)
13. SarveshBisaria v. CM (M) 17.12.19 In this case, though the suit had been filed under Anand 1787/19 Order XXXVII CPC, summons were not issued NirogDham under the said order. Instead, a template order Hospital Pvt. had been passed which simply set out various Ltd. portions of the CPC, did not record any satisfaction under Order XXXVII CPC and
7 For Private and Internal Circulation Only
required the Defendant to file his written statement within 30 days of the receipt of summons. It was held that – “Whenever summons are issued, the Court has to be conscious of the provision under which the summons is to be issued. The summons in a summary suit is completely different from the summons in Form No.2, for settlement of issues in an ordinary suit. Clearly, the Court has not taken into consideration that the suit was filed under Order XXXVII CPC and the Plaintiff’s grievance is thus completely justified.”(Para 10)
14. ICICI v. Naveen CM (M) 23.12.19 These petitions concerned applications seeking Kalkal;ICICI v. 1821/201 ; permission to sell hypothecated vehicles. In all Priya Baveja; 9; CM 13.01.20 these cases, though possession of the vehicle had ICICI v. (M) 20; been taken by the Receiver, inordinate delay was Deepanshu 16/2020; 13.01.20 being caused in the grant of permission for sale Bansal & Anr. CM (M) 20 of the vehicle, leading to additional expenditure & 18/2020 for maintenance etc. In view of this, as well as Connected the fact that the value of the vehicle deteriorates Matters as time passes by, the Court directed the TC to expeditiously consider such applications. The directions, as to the manner in which cases of vehicle loans are to be dealt with, as passed by a ld. Single Judge of the Delhi High Court in M/s. ICICI Bank Ltd. v. Kamal Kumar Garewal, [FAO 49/2015, decided on 29th May, 2015], were reiterated and public auction was permitted in all the cases. (Naveen Kalkal: Para’s 6-9; Priya Baveja: Para’s 9-12; Deepanshu Bansal: Para’s 5-8)
15. YN Gupta CM (M) 24.12.19 In this case, the matter had been heard and (Deceased thr. 1827/19 adjourned on more than 10 hearings, with the LRs) v. MA order-sheet showing the matter as being either Ramzana ‘part-heard’ or listed ‘for orders’. The Court held that it was impermissible to repeatedly adjourn cases for orders and observed that the same “reflects extremely poorly on the Court system” and that “Repeated hearing of arguments also increases the litigation costs for litigants, as they have to incur expenses for legal representation, etc., Such a practice would also make access to justice unaffordable.”(Para’s 18-20)
