Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the High Court in appointing a Receiver and issuing interim orders without resolving preliminary issues of delay and maintainability of the appeal. The Court held that while the High Court's actions were not ideal, it would not interfere at this stage and directed that the High Court should first consider the condonation of delay and maintainability before proceeding further. The existing order was limited to the appointment of the Receiver for filing a report only, ensuring that no further interim orders are made until those preliminary issues are resolved.
