Calcutta High Court Restores Interim Restraint Against Disputed Form-D Utilization

The Calcutta High Court reinstated a previously lapsed interim protection order that barred the deployment of Form-D in the underlying dispute. While reviving the restraint, the bench clarified that the formal proceedings before the Tribunal may continue without incorporating or relying upon the disputed document.

This judicial intervention safeguards the petitioner from immediate prejudice tied to the contested form while ensuring that adjudicatory bodies can still discharge their core duties. It strikes a procedural balance between preserving status quo and avoiding total gridlock in active tribunal matters.

Litigants facing expired interim injunctions must review specific case contexts before seeking renewals. Parties involved should verify that tribunal proceedings strictly exclude references to the restricted form to comply with the court's directives.
