In Brief
In this civil appeal, the Supreme Court addressed the High Court's summary rejection of an interim stay application in a land-related writ petition. The High Court had refused stay relief merely on the ground that the land was lying vacant, without providing substantive reasoning. The Supreme Court held that orders on interim relief must contain justifiable reasons grounded in case facts and applicable law. Finding the High Court's reasoning inadequate, the Court set aside the order and remanded the matter for fresh consideration, directing the High Court to decide the interim prayer afresh in accordance with law.
