Victor Oil Company Pvt. Ltd vs E.C. Bose & Company Pvt. Ltd

The Supreme Court upheld the interim order staying the Calcutta High Court's directive to implead the Calcutta Port Trust in an ongoing suit, emphasizing that the trial had nearly concluded and allowing such impleadment would cause unnecessary confusion and delay. The Court directed the Trial Court to expedite the disposal of the trial, reinforcing the principle that once proceedings have advanced significantly, introducing new parties should be avoided to maintain judicial efficiency. The Civil Appeal was disposed of accordingly.
