As per case facts, the Appellant purchased products from the Respondent, but customers reported quality defects, leading the Appellant to issue a safety recall. The Respondent then filed a commercial ... suit, but the initial court rejected its plea to bypass pre-institution mediation. The Respondent filed a Review Application, and an alternate Judge, without notice to the Appellant, set aside the initial order, allowing the suit to proceed without mediation. The Appellant challenged this exparte order. The question arose whether an alternate Judge could entertain a Review Application of an Order passed by a coordinate bench when the original Judge was on short leave, and whether such a review could proceed without notice to the opposite party. Finally, the High Court held that the alternate Judge could not have heard the Review Application, citing a clear violation of Order XLVII Rule 5 CPC, as the original Judge was available. The impugned Order was therefore set aside.
