Shri Westarly Dkhar And Ors vs Shri Sehekaya Lyngdoh

The Supreme Court held that the appeal against an ex-parte ad-interim injunction granted by the Subordinate District Council Court was maintainable under Rule 28 of The United Khasi-Jaintia Hills Autonomous District (Administration of Justice) Rules, 1953, despite the High Court's ruling that it was not maintainable under the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the 1953 Rules apply in this context, and the High Court's decision was set aside, allowing the appeal. The judgment clarified the applicability of local rules over general procedural codes in autonomous districts.
