Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in staying the proceedings of Suit No. 131 of 2006 under Section 227 of the Constitution, which was filed for recovery of dues while an eviction petition was pending. The Court emphasized that the trial Court's decision to dismiss the application for stay should have been upheld, as the proceedings of the suit should not be delayed unnecessarily. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the High Court's order was set aside, and the suit was restored for trial.
