Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 28-09-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Bileshwar Corporation
- Respondents: Kartik Ramesh Shah & Ors.
- Petitions: Special Leave to Appeal (C) Nos. 34078‑34093/2026 arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 13‑07‑2026 in multiple Civil Appeals (CA Nos. 1315/2025, 1653/2025, 1807/2025, 1816/2025, 1919/2025, 1960/2025, 1876/2025, 1243/2026, 1877/2025, 2004/2025, 1985/2025, 1915/2025, 4842/2025, 5121/2025, 5141/2025, 1336/2026) passed by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad.
- Additional related petition: SLP(C) No.29252/2026 (exemption from filing C/C of the impugned judgment and other applications).
- Background: The High Court, on 31‑07‑2026, admitted the appeals and issued a status‑quo order concerning the disputed land/plots, pending final disposal.
Observations & Reasoning
- Respondent counsel emphasized the High Court’s admission of appeals and interim status‑quo, arguing that the Supreme Court should not interfere at this stage.
- Petitioner's counsel sought a similar interim order in the present SLPs, citing the earlier stay granted in SLP(C) No.29252/2026.
- The Court observed that the High Court’s order of 31‑07‑2026 indicates it will hear the appeals on merits, and therefore there is no substantive ground for Supreme Court intervention.
- Consequently, the Court dismissed the Special Leave petitions (Nos. 34078‑34093/2026).
- Regarding SLP(C) No.29252/2026, the Court noted it arises from the same impugned order dated 13‑07‑2026 and, for consistency and to avoid contradictory orders, also dismissed it.
- The Court directed that any pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
Final Outcome
- All Special Leave petitions (Nos. 34078‑34093/2026) are dismissed.
- SLP(C) No.29252/2026 is likewise dismissed for consistency.
- No further interim relief is granted; pending applications are disposed of.
