Supreme Court bars lessees from filing writ petition after trust withdraws SLP
The case involves a dispute over land ownership and eviction, where the lessees of a trust filed a writ petition challenging eviction after the trust's appeal was withdrawn.
Appellant(s): The State of Telangana and Others; Respondent(s): M.A. Garden Function Hall and Others; Bench: Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra (authoring the judgment), Justice Shree Chandrashekhar
- The Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the Trust was permitted to be withdrawn on 09.09.2025, with liberty to the Trust to avail the remedy of instituting a fresh suit.
- The lessees (M.A. Garden Function Hall) were not allowed to file a writ petition as the Trust's challenge was withdrawn and the High Court had already ruled that a writ court cannot declare possession.
- The impugned order of the Single Judge and the Division Bench granting liberty to the Trust to file a fresh suit and directing the State authorities not to dispossess the writ petitioners was set aside.
- The State's action of locking the premises was not interfered with.
- The civil suit filed by the Trust on 16.09.2025 is pending and shall be decided on its merits.
