M/S.MARSHALL SONS & CO.(I)LTD. vs M/S.SAHI ORETRANS (P) LTD

The Supreme Court addressed the execution of a decree for eviction under the Rent Control Act, noting that the appellant had obtained a decree in 1969 against the original defendant for non-payment of rent and unlawful subletting. The Court held that despite the long delay in execution, it would not direct possession to be delivered to the appellant as the respondent's declaratory suit regarding tenancy rights was still pending. The Court emphasized the need for resolution of pending legal matters before enforcing eviction orders.
