Milind Moreshwar Kowley vs Manohar Bhaskar Kowley (Dead) By ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of interim relief applications in Civil Appeal No. 4731 of 1996, affirming that the prolonged litigation by family members was aimed at delaying proceedings and avoiding execution of a consent decree. The Court noted that the plaintiff in Suit No. 2493 of 1988, being the son of one of the defendants in Suit No. 618 of 1967, filed the suit years after attaining majority, which raised concerns about the motives behind the litigation. The judgment emphasized that observations made should not affect the rights of the parties in ongoing litigation, thereby maintaining the integrity of the consent decree established earlier.
