🚨 BIG UPDATE for all litigators and law students! The Supreme Court has once again clarified that pre-institution mediation under Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act is MANDATORY—but only from 20.08.2022 onwards. ⚖️ Suits filed before this date? They won’t be rejected outright. The court says: pause the case, try mediation first! 📌 Case: Dhanbad Fuels Pvt. Ltd. vs Union of India 👨‍⚖️ Bench: Justice JB Pardiwala & Justice R. Mahadevan 💡 Perfect example of how procedural law meets judicial discretion. 🎯 Law students – this case is a must-read for your CPC and ADR prep! 👨‍💼 Practitioners – be sure your filing complies with the post-Patil regime. #Section12A #CommercialCourtsAct #SupremeCourtJudgment #LegalUpdate #PatilAutomation #LawStudentsIndia #LitigationMatters #CPC #ADR #LegalNewsIndia #MediateDontLitigate #JusticePardiwala #CourtCraft #LawReel #IndianLegalSystem #PreInstitutionMediation #JudgmentUpdate #DhanbadFuelsCase
