KEKI HORMUSJI GHARDA vs MEHERVAN RUSTOM IRANI

The Supreme Court addressed the legal implications of wrongful restraint under Section 341 IPC and the principles of civil liability in property disputes. The Court held that the actions of the appellants in continuing construction work despite a stop-work notice constituted wrongful restraint, thereby affirming the lower court's decision to hold them liable. The judgment emphasized the necessity of adhering to municipal regulations and the rights of tenants in property matters, ultimately ruling in favor of the first respondent.
