Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the case involved disputed questions of fact that could not be resolved in writ jurisdiction, thus relegating the writ petitioners to the appropriate forum. A consensus was reached between the parties, wherein the respondents agreed to hand over vacant possession of the property by 31.03.2025, and the petitioners waived their rights to arrears of rent and mesne profits. The Court directed compliance with these terms and allowed for contempt proceedings in case of non-compliance, while also ensuring the return of any deposited amounts and cheques.
