JUDGMENT :
1. The copy of the C.R.P., was not served to the learned Counsel for the respondent/caveator. Such objection was raised, upon which vide order dated 20.12.2024 Registry was directed to submit the report, that once there was caveat, how could the CRP be numbered without serving the copies of the petition to the caveator.
2. The Registry submitted a report as follow :
The court emphasized that non-compliance with caveat procedures under Section 148-A C.P.C. violates natural justice, necessitating recall of any adverse interim orders.
The court upheld the validity of an interim order despite procedural claims regarding caveat linkage, emphasizing that the revision was filed prior to the caveat.
A caveator must demonstrate a valid caveatable interest and timely pursue legal action; failure to do so results in the caveat being removed.
The court emphasized that orders affecting rights must follow due process, ensuring fair opportunity for all parties before any decision is made.
