Indore Development Authority vs Mangal Amusement (P) Ltd & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the interim order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court that allowed respondents to construct a restaurant and banquet hall on land licensed to them by the Indore Development Authority, holding that such permission effectively amounted to a final decision on the writ petition before it was heard. The Court emphasized the need for the High Court to expedite the hearing of the main writ petition, ensuring that the rights of all parties are preserved until a final decision is made. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court was directed to dispose of the writ petition within three months.
