https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313013 Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act makes pre-institution mediation mandatory for a commercial suit unless the plaint genuinely seeks urgent interim relief. That assessment depends on the plaint, the reliefs claimed, and the surrounding pleadings, not on a separate exemption request. The court may look beyond the label of urgent interim relief and reject a colourable invocation intended to evade the statutory bar under Order VII Rule 11 CPC. However, a refusal of interim relief on merits does not by itself justify rejection of the plaint. Applying that approach, the plaint was found to contemplate urgent interim relief and the rejection of the plaint was upheld. en-us Fri, 13 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 01 Jan 2025 10:52:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313013 Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act makes pre-institution mediation mandatory for a commercial suit unless the plaint genuinely seeks urgent interim relief.
