| 1 | CW / 4420 / 2026 (HIMMATA RAM VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 14/09/2026 The petitioner challenged the notification naming the new revenue village “Jadam Nagar”, alleging violation of the circular dated 20.08.2009 prohibiting names based on a person, religion, caste or sub-caste. HELD-The Court found no violation of the circular and rejected as unjustified the alleged link with the former Sarpanch’s brother. The notification was upheld and the writ petition dismissed. |
| 2 | CW / 20557 / 2026 (HARISH KUMAR VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 21/08/2026 Petitioners challenged the municipal reservation lottery. HELD- Declaration and publication of the election programme marked commencement of the election process, attracting the constitutional bar under Article 243-ZG against judicial interference in municipal elections. The writ petitions challenging the reservation process were dismissed without adjudication on the merits of the reservation dispute. |
| 3 | CW / 18956 / 2019 (BANWARI LAL JHURIA VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 20/08/2026 Petitioners challenged enhanced mining demands. HELD-Substantial enhancement of alleged illegal excavation and financial liability without disclosure of audit material, calculations and methodology, or a meaningful opportunity to contest the revised assessment, violated natural justice. The demand notices were quashed; the merits of illegal excavation and correctness of quantities were left open for fresh proceedings in accordance with law. |
| 4 | CW / 15836 / 2021 (TARA RANI VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 19/08/2026 Petitioners sought protection against demolition/dispossession for road widening under the Rajasthan Urban Improvement Act, 1959 and Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009. HELD-The Master Plan may be implemented in public interest, but not without notice, hearing and reasoned orders. If valid title is established and the land is required, compensation or alternative land must be considered. Authorities may proceed after deciding objections; writ petitions disposed of. |
| 5 | CMA / 2506 / 2026 (SHRI VISHWAKARMA JANGID SAMAJ SAMITI, PALI VS RAMCHANDRA PIDWA) Date of Order/Judgment: 18/08/2026 Appellant challenged the Trial Court’s order transferring the Society’s management, properties and records to the ADM under Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 read with Section 151 CPC. HELD-An interim injunction must preserve the existing position, not create a new one or indirectly grant mandatory/receivership relief. The Trial Court could not displace existing management without a prayer or exceptional circumstances warranting Order XL intervention. CMA-2032/2026 allowed; CMA-2506/2026 dismissed. |
| 6 | CW / 16753 / 2026 (SAACHI MINOCHA VS NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY) Date of Order/Judgment: 13/08/2026 Petitioner sought quashing of her debarment from the VI Semester examination for shortage of attendance. HELD-Rule 1.7(D) of the NLU Jodhpur Rules of Examination mandates that a student unable to take the end-term examination on medical grounds shall be allowed to appear in the repeat examination as a first attempt. The Rule prescribes neither a one-time limit nor a separate minimum-attendance condition; such restrictions could not be imported into the Rule. Writ petition allowed. |
| 7 | CMA / 1748 / 2024 (LRS OF LATE SMT. RASAL KANWAR VS LRS OF LATE LAXMAN SINGH) Date of Order/Judgment: 13/08/2026 Petitioners sought initiation of proceedings under Section 340 Cr.P.C. alleging that Ex.A34, an adoption deed, was forged. HELD- Section 340 requires a reasonable foundation for the alleged offence and expediency in the interests of justice. Though pendency of the substantive suit is not an absolute bar, no exceptional circumstances warranted criminal proceedings before adjudication of the document’s genuineness. The appeal was dismissed; the issue was left open for the trial Court. |
| 8 | CW / 12432 / 2026 (AU SMALL FINANCE BANK LTD VS THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 12/08/2026 Petitioner-Bank challenged police charges demanded for Section 14 SARFAESI assistance under the 03.02.2026 executive circular. HELD- the State may levy such charges, but Sections 46 and 2(m) of the Rajasthan Police Act, 2007 require rates to be prescribed by Rules. Rule 10 of the Rajasthan Police Rules, 2008 governs; an executive circular cannot override or amend it. Until Rule 10 is lawfully amended, demands exceeding its rates are without authority of law and stand quashed. |
| 9 | CW / 9549 / 2026 (MADNA RAM VS RESERVE BANK OF INDIA) Date of Order/Judgment: 12/08/2026 Petitioners sought quashing of freezing of bank accounts in cyber-fraud cases for want of prior notice. HELD- Freezing is a preventive measure to preserve suspected proceeds; given the speed of cyber fraud, prior notice may defeat its purpose. The restraint must remain proportionate and subject to periodic review under the SOP. Writ petitions without exhausting prescribed remedies were premature; liberty was granted to approach afresh in exceptional cases. The petitions were disposed of. |
| 10 | CW / 24714 / 2025 (STATE OF RAJASTHAN VS BHANWAR LAL JAIN) Date of Order/Judgment: 11/08/2026 Petitioner-State sought quashing of the Permanent Lok Adalat’s award granting service benefits from initial appointment. HELD-Its jurisdiction is confined to public utility services under Section 22A(b) of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. “Any party to a dispute” in Section 22C must be read within that framework and does not confer unrestricted jurisdiction. A service-benefit dispute falls outside Section 22A(b); hence the award was without jurisdiction and was quashed. |
| 11 | CW / 10655 / 2026 (SHAITAN SINGH VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 06/08/2026 Petitioner sought cancellation of Respondent No.5’s mining lease, alleging violation of Rule 27 of the Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2017 through a partnership arrangement. HELD- Even if Rule 27 was violated, a person who is neither the lessee nor licencee does not thereby acquire an enforceable right to seek cancellation. As the grievance arose from a contractual arrangement involving disputed facts, the writ petition was not maintainable and was dismissed. |
| 12 | CW / 12429 / 2015 (KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LTD. VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 14/07/2026 Petitioner-Bank sought quashing of the seizure and auction of its hypothecated vehicle for recovery of the owner’s motor vehicle dues. HELD- Section 13-A permits attachment and sale of the movable property of the person liable, not merely the vehicle against which dues arose. Mere hypothecation, without actual possession or overriding statutory priority, did not defeat recovery; separate notice to the financier was not a statutory precondition. Writ dismissed. |
| 13 | CMA / 2252 / 2026 (BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LTD. VS M/S RAJ SOLUTIONS (INDIA) LTD.) Date of Order/Judgment: 09/07/2026 Appellant-BSNL sought restoration of its Section 34 application under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 before the Commercial Court, Udaipur. HELD- Party autonomy required Clauses 17(3) and 19 to be harmoniously construed: Jaipur was the place for conducting arbitration, while Udaipur was expressly chosen as the jurisdictional forum. Conducting arbitration at Jaipur did not make it the juridical seat or override Clause 19. Appeal allowed; application restored. |
| 14 | CW / 16603 / 2025 (SMT. HARU VS GAINARAM) Date of Order/Judgment: 11/06/2026 Petitioner sought quashing of the Board of Revenue’s order remanding her application under Section 251A of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 for a way through respondents’ land. HELD-Rule 69 mandates inviting and considering objections to the site-inspection report. Mere notice of inspection is insufficient. Non-compliance violates natural justice and constitutes material irregularity under Section 230, justifying revisional interference. Writ dismissed; matter remanded to SDO. |
| 15 | CW / 24552 / 2025 (SATYANARAYAN SINGH RAJPUROHIT VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 11/06/2026 Petitioner sought quashing of the notification dated 13.12.2025 creating Revenue Village “Khichan Vistar”, alleging breach of norms, mala fide and political influence. HELD-Creation of a revenue village u/Sec16 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956 is an administrative decision. Distance criterion was satisfied; Khasra adjacency did not invalidate distance findings. No mala fide, colourable exercise or statutory violation was proved. Writ dismissed; pending applications disposed of. |
| 16 | CRLA / 687 / 2012 (STATE VS UGMA AND ORS.) Date of Order/Judgment: 05/08/2025 Appellant-State sought reversal of acquittal of five accused under the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. HELD-PW-23 and PW-24 were not eyewitnesses; PW-7 and PW-8 turned hostile, with material contradictions regarding the occurrence, motive and place. The Trial Court’s acquittal was a legally plausible view, without perversity warranting appellate interference. Appeal dismissed; pending applications disposed of. |
| 1 | CMA / 783 / 2019 (M/S NAVBHARAT BUILDCON PRIVATE LIMITED VS M/S SUZLON ENERGY LIMITED) Date of Order/Judgment: 17/08/2026 Appellant challenged the arbitral award under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. HELD- The generation guarantee was not for the 20-year contract: Annexure-III confined the 28-lakh-unit guarantee to three years, while the MOU extended it to four years and 112 lakh units; the 95% obligation thereafter concerned only machine availability. The arbitrator’s contrary interpretation was impermissible. Independent findings were severable and sustained, while Issues 1, 6, 10, 11 and 13 were set |
| 2 | CRW / 4 / 2026 (RAJASTHAN STATE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT CORPORATION LTD VS MS NEEMRANA ASSOCIATES) Date of Order/Judgment: 11/08/2026 Petitioner-RIICO sought review of the judgment dated 24.07.2025 in Civil Second Appeal No. 104/2012. HELD— The stay dated 13.04.2001 operated only till 05.07.2001, after which the status quo order revived; RIICO's subsequent subdivision and allotment occurred during its subsistence. Review under Section 114 read with Order XLVII Rule 1 CPC is limited to a patent error and cannot be used to rehear the matter as an appeal. No reviewable error existed; the review petition was dismissed. |
| 3 | CW / 14232 / 2025 (M/S MAYUR TIMBER VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 11/08/2026 Petitioner challenged the unsigned GST show-cause notice and adjudication order. HELD-Rule 26(3) of the CGST Rules, 2017 mandates electronic issuance and authentication through digital signature, E-signature or notified verification. Mere portal generation or a reference number is not authentication. An unsigned notice/order is legally ineffective and consequential proceedings cannot survive. The Court also found violation of natural justice u/Sec 75(4) and permitted fresh proceedings. |
| 4 | CW / 13097 / 2026 (AJAY SARIN S/O LATE SHRI ASHWANI KUMAR SARIN VS MRF LIMITED) Date of Order/Judgment: 10/08/2026 Petitioners sought quashing of the ₹2.25 crore security-bond condition imposed while granting a succession certificate. HELD-The power under Section 375 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 is discretionary and cannot be exercised mechanically; reasons or justification must be recorded for imposing security. As no reasons were given and no rival claimant existed, the condition was unwarranted and onerous. The petitioners' proposed indemnity bond was accepted; writ petition allowed. |
| 5 | EXCIA / 10 / 2023 (M/S RAJASTHAN PRIME STEEL PROCESSING CENTRE PVT LTD VS COMMISSIONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE AND CGST) Date of Order/Judgment: 06/08/2026 Appellant challenged the extended limitation and penalty under the Central Excise Act, 1944. HELD— Mere omission does not constitute suppression; it must be deliberate and coupled with intent to evade duty. The vague balance-sheet entry of “compensation from customers” did not substitute statutory disclosure in ER-1. Concurrent findings established deliberate suppression through the compensation arrangement. Hence, Section 11A(4) and consequential penalty under Section 11AC(1)(c) were upheld. |
| 6 | CRLMP / 2059 / 2026 (SEEMA SONI W/O SHRI SHAILENDRA KUMAR SHARMA, VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 05/08/2026 Petitioner sought release of recovered gold and silver ornaments on supurdgi despite absence of purchase bills. HELD- Mere absence of ownership proof or invoices cannot justify refusal where the FIR was lodged by the petitioner, the articles were described and identified by her, the prosecution accepted them as stolen from her house, and no other person claimed ownership. Applying Sunderbhai Ambalal Desai, the Court directed release subject to conditions preserving identity and production. |
| 7 | CFA / 1110 / 2026 (M/S ROYAL ENTERPRISES VS NAGAR PARISHAD) Date of Order/Judgment: 03/08/2026 Appellant sought recovery of ₹5,96,850 withheld from contractual bills, claiming that a subsequent credit of ₹5,02,075 constituted part-payment under Section 19 of the Limitation Act, 1963 and revived limitation. HELD-A disputed credit, unsupported by the signed acknowledgment required by Section 19, cannot furnish a fresh period of limitation. Departmental enquiry, oral assurances, representations and RTI proceedings do not extend limitation. The suit was barred; appeal dismissed. |
| 8 | CW / 10104 / 2026 (CHHATRAPAL SINGH GOUR S/O LT. SHRI MADAN SINGH GOUR VS UNION OF INDIA) Date of Order/Judgment: 10/06/2026 Petitioner sought quashing of his transfer from Jaipur to CSD Head Office, Mumbai, relying on the Transfer Policy and alleging premature transfer and mala fide. HELD- The Transfer Policy was only a guideline and created no enforceable right under Articles 226/227. The “longest stayee and choice station” norm was subject to administrative exigencies. As the transfer was for functional requirements and mala fide was not proved, interference was unwarranted. |
| 9 | SAW / 404 / 2024 (CHAIRMAN, URBAN IMPROVEMENT TRUST VS RAJESH BHURIYA S/O. SHIV BHAGWAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 23/04/2026 Appellants sought to challenge the Permanent Lok Adalat’s jurisdiction over claims arising from the failed residential scheme of the UIT. HELD-The UIT’s activity of developing/allotting residential plots constituted “Housing and Real Estate Services”, a notified Public Utility Service under Section 22A of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987; its statutory/non-profit status did not exclude it. The appeals, with pending application(s), were dismissed. |
| 10 | CW / 22244 / 2018 (SHREE CEMENT LIMITED VS DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX) Date of Order/Judgment: 04/08/2025 Petitioner sought application of the beneficial India–Mauritius DTAA rate to interest paid under an ECB, without a separate approval under Sections 195(2) or 197 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. HELD-Approval under Section 194LC(2)(ia) was substantive and sufficient where DTAA eligibility was established; Section 195(2) was only a safeguard mechanism, not a gateway to treaty benefits. The 5% TDS deposited under protest was directed to be refunded with applicable Section 244A interest within eight we |
