M/S New India Steel Industries v. V.D Steel Industries And Another
Factual and Procedural Background
After hearing counsel for the parties, the Court addressed CMP 6495 of 1980 seeking revocation of a special leave petition that had been granted by the Court’s order dated December 12, 1979. Two facts were highlighted by the Court: (1) the appellant had misstated a material fact by asserting that the proclamation of sale did not include a note indicating that the property was being sold subject to a mortgage charge of Rs 1,65,000, whereas such a note did exist; and (2) the appellant engaged in misconduct by publishing a public notice captioned “Court Notice” on April 12, 1980, as if it were issued under the orders of the Court. Based on these developments, the Court proceeded to decide the application for revocation and the fate of the appeal arising from the special leave petition.

No precedents were cited in the provided opinion.
Court's Reasoning and Analysis
The Court’s analysis focused on two determinative facts. First, it found that the appellant had made a misstatement of a material fact regarding the contents of the proclamation of sale—specifically, the presence of a note that the property was being sold subject to a mortgage charge of Rs 1,65,000. The Court stated that such a note did in fact exist. Second, it found that the appellant had misconducted himself by issuing a public notice labeled “Court Notice” on April 12, 1980, conveying the impression that it had been published under the Court’s orders. The Court expressly identified these two grounds as the basis for granting the application (CMP 6495 of 1980) to revoke the previously granted special leave petition. Consequent upon that revocation, the appeal arising out of the special leave petition was dismissed, and the previously granted stay automatically stood vacated.
Holding and Implications
HOLDING: CMP 6495 of 1980 was allowed; the previously granted special leave petition was REVOKED; the appeal arising out of that SLP was DISMISSED; and the stay already granted STANDS VACATED.
Implications: The immediate effect is that the grant of special leave is withdrawn, the appeal does not proceed further, and any interim protection afforded by the stay ceases to operate. The opinion does not discuss broader legal implications or establish new precedent.
R.S Sarkaria, J.— After hearing counsel for the parties we allow CMP 6495 of 1980 for the revocation of special leave petition granted as per this Court's order dated December 12, 1979. There are two facts which stand out. Firstly, the appellant had made a misstatement of material fact that the proclamation of sale did not contain any note that the property was being sold subject to the mortgage charge of Rs 1,65,000. In fact such a note does exist. Secondly, he misconducted himself inasmuch as he published a public notice captioned as “Court Notice” on April 12, 1980, as if that notice was being published under the orders of this Court. For these two reasons we revoke the special leave petition granted earlier and dismiss the appeal arising out of that SLP. The stay already granted automatically stands vacated.
