Case History
The Supreme Court rejected Green Park Theatres' Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's decision to maintain a writ petition filed by victims of the June 1997 Uphaar theatre fire. The theatre company argued the writ petition was inappropriate because determining liability, causation, and compensation amounts required complex factual investigation unsuitable for writ proceedings, but the High Court found the petition maintainable at the preliminary stage. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, finding no justification to interfere and directing the theatre company to raise its procedural concerns during the High Court's substantive hearing.
