Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a dispute over property possession between Harish Sehgal and Lata Gupta, initially adjudicated under Section 145 and Section 146 of the CrPC. The Court held that the High Court's order, which modified the City Magistrate's decision without notifying all parties, constituted a jurisdictional error. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the original order of the City Magistrate be reinstated, thereby restoring possession to Party No. 2 as per the initial ruling.
