Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, which ruled that a writ petition was not maintainable in the context of a civil suit concerning easement rights. The Court emphasized that the petitioner should seek appropriate remedies through civil proceedings, particularly after the appointment of a Commissioner to inspect the construction in question. The Court dismissed the petition and directed the lower court to expedite the disposal of the suit within four months, affirming the principle that civil remedies must be pursued in the appropriate forum.
