Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the eviction order passed by the Trial Court on 1st July 1998 was unsustainable as the High Court had extended the time for deposit, indicating no willful default by the Appellant. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have considered the extension of time in its review of the eviction order. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the eviction order and directed the Trial Court to dispose of the matter in light of the High Court's extension.
