Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court clarified that the Guahati High Court's interim order deferring the hearing of a writ petition regarding the transfer of land under the Meghalaya Transfer of Land (Regulation) Act, 1971, was inappropriate as there were no pending proceedings in this Court concerning the alleged violation. The Court held that the High Court is free to proceed with the writ petition and make appropriate orders. The appeal was disposed of without costs.
