Advocate for : MR. BHASKAR DUTTA
SENIOR ADVOCATE
Advocate for : MR N N UPADHYAYA (FOR CAVEATOR) appearing for SANJAY
JAIN AND 16 ORS
BEFORE
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MRIDUL KUMAR KALITA
ORDER
Date : 21.02.2026
1. Heard Mr. S. Deka, learned counsel for the appellants in FAO No.
8/2026 as well as Mr. B. Dutta, learned senior counsel assisted by Mr. J. Das,
learned counsel for the appellant in FAO No. 9/2026. Also heard Mr. P. J. Saikia,
learned senior counsel assisted by Mr. A. K. Gupta, learned counsel appearing
for the Caveator and respondent No. 1 in both the appeals.
2. Since, both these appeals are directed against a common order dated
20.01.2026, passed by the Court of learned Civil Judge (Senior Division),
Page No.# 8/9
Dibrugarh, in Misc.(J) Case No. 8/2026, arising out of Title Suit No. 5/2026
granting temporary injunction in favour of the respondent No. 1, both these
appeals are taken up together.
3. Let the notice be issued to the respondents.
4. Since, in FAO No. 8/2026, the respondent No. 1is represented by Mr.
A. K. Gupta and respondent Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are represented by Mr. J. Das, no
formal notice needs to be issued to the respondents.
5. Similarly, in FAO No. 9/2026 also, the respondents are represented by
their engaged counsel Mr. A. K. Gupta and Mr. S. Deka, no formal notice need to
be issued.
6. Though, a preliminary question regarding maintainability of the
aforementioned appeals was raised by Mr. P. J. Saikia, the learned senior
counsel appearing for the respondent No. 1 in both the appeals on the ground
that the registration of the appellant No. 1 society, in FAO No. 9/2026, has
lapsed and same has not been renewed, hence, the appeals are not
maintainable. However, the learned counsel for the appellant has produced a
certificate of registration of Shree Vishwanath Marwari Databya Aushdhalaya
Society, which is valid till 14.07.2028. Hence, the learned senior counsel submits
that he is not pressing the issue of maintainability and would be making his
submissions on the merit of the case.
7. Hence, both these appeals are admitted.
8. Let the scanned copy of the records of Title Suit No. 5/2026 along with
Misc.(J) Case No. 8/2026 be called for from the Court of the learned Civil Judge
(Senior Division), Dibrugarh.
9. The Registry to take steps for requisitioning the scanned copy.
Page No.# 9/9
