The dispute was about whether two suits for cancellation of development agreements and powers of attorney were commercial disputes under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015. The appellants argued that the agreements involved transfer of ownership rights and title, and thus were not purely construction contracts. The court had to decide whether the suits should be returned to be presented before a commercial court. The appellants also argued that returning the plaints could lead to limitation issues and suggested transferring the suits to a commercial court instead.
