Present case was not the one where the impugned order was passed by the Commercial Court without inherent jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court stated that even though there may be some merit in the contentions raised by the petitioners with regard to the <em>non est<\/em> filing, that cannot be a ground for this Court to exercise jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India and interfere with the decision of the Commercial Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the above would be done, it would completely frustrate the objective behind the Commercial Courts Act, that commercial matters should be decided expeditiously and parties may not challenge interlocutory orders passed in the proceedings, except those which were specifically appealable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, no ground for interference by this Court was made out.
