<h1>Supreme Court clarifies legal proceedings remain pending during appeals but not during independent writ petitions</h1> A legal proceeding is 'pending' from commencement until conclusion, as long as the court with original cognizance can make orders on matters in issue. The Supreme Court adopted this definition, establishing that proceedings remain pending during appeals or revisions since these are continuations of original suits where appellate authorities can decide on merits. However, writ petitions are independent proceedings, not continuations of original matters, so the underlying suit cannot be considered pending before the High Court hearing the writ petition.
