Arti Bhargava & Anr vs Madhur Bhargava & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the amended Delhi High Court Rules, effective from 23.12.2008, apply only to appeals where hearing has not commenced, while appeals partially heard before this date must be completed by a division bench. The Court set aside the Division Bench's order directing certain appeals to be heard by a single Judge, emphasizing that the loss of notes of arguments does not justify such a change. Consequently, all four appeals, interconnected and arising from the same suit, must be heard together by the Division Bench to ensure consistent judgments.
