The legal issue involved was that of Civil Court being approached by a litigant seeking permanent injunction when their exists n alternate remedy under the Telegraph Act. The issue also involved the interplay of Electricity Act, the Telegraph Act and Specific Relief Act surrounding the core issue as to whether the specific bar under the relief act qua stay of an infrastructure project can be interfered through a an alternate remedy sought through clever drafting.
The issue also involved an ex-parte ad interim stay having been granted against T.P. Jalpura Khurja Power Transmission Limited by the Trial Court. SKV team moved swiftly and not only got the stay vacated but also succeeded in getting a favourable order dismissing the civil suit by exercising Order VII Rule 11 CPC route.

SKV team achieved consecutive success in all Courts. The finality brings in much needed certainty for the project and transmission licensee(s) engaged in setting up of transmission infrastructure.
