In Brief
The Supreme Court heard an appeal against a High Court order that vacated the stay on eviction. Rather than overturning the order, the Court modified it by accepting the appellant's undertaking to vacate the premises by March 31, 2019. During this period, the appellant must continue paying monthly use-and-occupation charges of Rs. 1.50 Lacs. The modification preserved both parties' rights regarding future claims for mesne profits, and the matter was disposed of without any orders as to costs.
