Peddi Ashok Kumar & Ors vs Peddi Sudarshan Rao

The Supreme Court set aside the Andhra Pradesh High Court's order permitting the construction of a second floor, which had modified a prior status quo order. The Court held that the High Court erred in allowing construction without evidence of necessary sanctions or structural integrity, emphasizing that the burden of proof lay with the applicant to demonstrate that the building could support the additional floor. The Court reinstated the status quo order from 3.11.2006 until the matter is resolved by the High Court.
