HIMANI ALLOYS LTD. vs TATA STEEL LTD.

The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court erred in granting a judgment on admission under Order 12 Rule 6 of the Civil Procedure Code, as the respondent's claim of admission by the appellant was found to be incorrect. The Court emphasized that the respondent could not rely on an admission not pleaded in its application, and thus the application for judgment on admission should have been rejected. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and allowed the appeal, reinforcing the necessity of clear admissions for such judgments.
