Ashok Kumar Puri v. S. Suncon Realtors Pvt. Ltd.
Court's Decision & Legal Precedent
s.8 bars civil revision / petition against Commercial Court interlocutory orders (including jurisdiction). Where CPC s.115 revision is taken away, Art.227 is not completely ousted but must be exercised extremely sparingly — only for patent lack of inherent jurisdiction — applying Black Diamond Track Parts DB. Condensation of delay on s.34 refiling is not such a case; challenge awaits s.37 appeal.
On this section: Court applied s.8 bar: refused Art.227 interference with Commercial Court interlocutory condonation order; parties remitted to appellate remedies.
