Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in a suit for permanent injunction, the question of title and landlord-tenant relationship is not at issue, thus the respondents cannot demand the appellant to deposit rent while the injunction suit is pending. The Court set aside the High Court's order dated 19.3.2010, allowing the appeal and dismissing the respondents' application for rent deposit. The ruling clarifies that the respondents retain the right to pursue legal action to establish tenancy and recover rents if applicable.
