K.B. Govind vs K.G. Nagaraj

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting interim relief to the respondent for residential accommodation pending the appeal in a partition suit, which was based on the claim of ancestral property. The Court emphasized that such relief should only be granted if the appeal is ultimately decided in favor of the respondent. The Court set aside the High Court's order, allowing the appeal and directing the High Court to hear the pending appeal without being influenced by its previous observations.
