KALLO @ KALAWATI vs PYARI BEGUM . — C.A. No. 4950/2002

Summary: In this tenancy dispute, the Supreme Court allowed Kallo @ Kalawati's appeal against the High Court's order that had restored her writ petition (originally dismissed for default in 1986) but refused to restore the earlier stay protecting her possession. The Court held that when restoring a dismissed petition, the stay protecting the petitioner's possession should ordinarily also be restored unless exceptional reasons exist, and the High Court provided none. The Court set aside the High Court's refusal to restore the stay and directed that status-quo regarding possession be maintained, allowing parties to move the High Court for early disposal of the pending 1986 writ petition. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
