In Brief
Lucknow Development Authority challenged a High Court interim order that protected respondent's possession of disputed property, claiming the Authority held possession. The Supreme Court, noting the long-pending civil suit filed in 2014, directed the trial court to dispose of the suit within six months and ordered parties to maintain status quo regarding possession. The Court noted the suit should proceed uninfluenced by the High Court's observations, allowing the trial court to decide possession on merits without prejudgment.
