Partha Chakraborty & Others Vs Anindya Mitra & Others (Calcutta High Court)
The Calcutta High Court considered a batch of revisional applications under Article 227 of the Constitution challenging interlocutory orders passed by the District Judge at Alipore in Misc. Appeal No. 380 of 2025. The appeal arose from an order dated November 14, 2025 passed by the Civil Judge (Senior Division), 5th Court at Alipore in Title Suit No. 1715 of 2025. The suit concerned disputes over shares held by the opposite party in a company incorporated in England and Wales. The opposite party had sought declaratory, permanent and mandatory injunctions and had also sought interim protection concerning his employment and the proposed buyback/sale of his shares.
The opposite party had initially been employed by the petitioner no.3 company from August 1, 2024 and subsequently resigned on June 1, 2025, leaving employment on August 31, 2025. He later obtained another employment from November 3, 2025. The petitioners thereafter sought to buy back shares held by him in the petitioner no.2 UK company. The opposite party disputed their entitlement and instituted the suit. The Trial Court, on November 14, 2025, granted ex-parte ad interim protection against interference with his new employment while observing that the other prayers would be considered after hearing the defendants. The opposite party appealed, and on November 18, 2025 the District Judge restrained the petitioners from taking steps to sell the opposite party’s 100,000 shares without leave of the Court. The injunction was subsequently extended by further orders.
