Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Trial Court erred in staying Title Suit No.48 of 2003 and subsequently vacating the stay without just cause, leading to an ex-parte decree that was unjustified. The Court emphasized that both suits should have been tried together, thereby setting aside the orders of the Trial Court and the lower appellate court, and remitting the matter for joint disposal. The Court directed the District Judge to club the suits and expedite their hearing.
