Case Note & Summary
The case involved a civil suit filed by Bhojraj Shobhraj Belani against Sai Sidhi Builders and others. The plaintiff sought relief through Notices of Motion, specifically Notice of Motion No. 452 of 1991 and Notice of Motion No. 3761 of 2006, in the context of Suit No. 1309 of 1989. On 5th September 2007, the High Court of Bombay, presided over by Justice S.J. Vazifdar, addressed the status of these motions. The court noted that the suit had been disposed of by a separate order on the same day. Consequently, it concluded that the Notices of Motion did not survive the disposal of the suit and were therefore dismissed. The court's reasoning hinged on the principle that once the main suit is resolved, any associated motions lose their purpose and relevance, leading to their dismissal.
