Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 13-07-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: M/s Sammys Dream Land Co. Pvt. Ltd.
- Respondents: Kempanna & Ors.
- Special Leave Petition No.20730/2024 challenges the High Court of Karnataka’s final judgment and order dated 22-04-2024 in Miscellaneous First Appeal No.2521/2024.
- The High Court had upheld an Order 39 CPC injunction restraining defendants from creating third‑party rights over the suit property and imposed a status‑quo on the property pending disposal of the suit.
- Petitioners claimed the status‑quo halted a development project, causing financial loss; respondents argued that title to the suit property lies with them, justifying the status‑quo.
Court Reasoning and Order
- The Supreme Court held that the High Court’s status‑quo order required modification.
- It directed that the petitioner shall not create any third‑party right in respect of the suit property nor exploit it commercially until the civil suits are finally decided, as already ordered by the High Court.
- Both civil suits have been clubbed together; the trial court shall make all possible endeavour to decide the suits within six months from the date of this order.
- The Special Leave Petition is disposed of, and any pending applications are also disposed.
Final Outcome
- Modified status‑quo order restricting petitioner’s actions on the suit property; trial court deadline of six months for suit resolution; SLP dismissed.
