Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 09-10-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: M/s Nirbhay Construction; Respondents: State of Manipur and others, including a fourth respondent.
- The matter arises from an impugned final judgment and order dated 24‑09‑2026 in SLP(C) No. 33857/2026.
- By order dated 24‑09‑2026, the Court directed that respondents maintain status‑quo until the writ petition is disposed by the learned Single Judge.
- Counsel for the State and senior counsel for the fourth respondent argued that work orders had already been issued to the fourth respondent on 22‑09‑2026 and 23‑09‑2026, making the status‑quo direction contradictory.
- The Court observed that, given the existence of those work orders, the fourth respondent is at liberty to proceed with the work, subject to the eventual result of the writ petition.
Final Outcome
- The Court permits the fourth respondent to carry out the work as per the issued work orders pending the writ petition’s final decision.
- The High Court is authorized to issue any consequential directions after the writ petition is decided.
- All miscellaneous applications filed in this matter are disposed of, and any pending applications shall stand disposed.
