Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against the Bombay High Court's interim order under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, which directed the Receiver to maintain possession of the disputed properties and hand them over to the plaintiffs. The Court emphasized that the interim relief granted was appropriate given the circumstances of the case, affirming the plaintiffs' claim to possession as agents of the Receiver. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, thereby allowing the plaintiffs to retain possession until the final adjudication of the suit.
