Dear Sir,
We had applied for a CMA against an interim injunction passed by a lower court and now order has been given in our favour vacating the Interim injunction. Do we need to file a caveat to prevent the opposing party to file appeal in higher court? what is the time limit to file a caveat?
Regards,
Gaurav
@ Gaurav caveat can be filed under sec148A CPC any time before the appeal is filed.
You
will only get intimation from court when appeal is filed.However caveat does not take away the right to appeal of opposite party.
"[108][148A. Right to lodge a caveat— (1) Where an application is expected to be made, or has been made, in a suit or proceedings instituted, or about to be instituted, in a Court, any person claiming a right to appear before the Court on the hearing of such application may lodge a caveat in respect thereof.
(2) Where a caveat has been lodged under sub-section (1), the person by whom the caveat has been lodged (hereinafter referred to as the caveator) shall serve a notice of the caveat by registered post, acknowledgement due, on the person by whom the application has been or is expected to be, made, under sub-section (1).
(3) Where, after a caveat has been lodged under sub-section (1), any application is filed in any suit or proceeding, the Court, shall serve a notice of the application on the caveator.
(4) Where a notice of any caveat has been served on the applicant, he shall forthwith furnish the caveator at the caveator's expense, with a copy of the application made by him and also with copies of any paper or document which has been, or may be, filed by him in support of the application.
(5) Where a caveat has been lodged under sub-section (1), such caveat shall not reman in force after the expiry of ninety days from the date on which it was lodged unless the application referred to in sub-section (1) has been made before the expiry of the said period.]"
