Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the impugned order of the High Court which failed to consider the sale deeds executed by the Karnataka Housing Board in favor of the appellants during the pendency of the writ appeal. The Court held that the High Court must decide the writ appeal afresh, taking into account the executed sale deeds, and directed that the appellants shall not be dispossessed from the houses until the writ appeal is resolved. This decision emphasizes the importance of considering all relevant documents in property disputes.
