In Brief
The M.P. Housing Board appealed against a High Court Division Bench order that had allowed a writ appeal by land purchasers challenging a land acquisition notification. The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred by deciding the appeal without noticing that an identical acquisition was the subject of another pending appeal before it. The Court ruled that all appeals challenging the same land acquisition and notifications must be heard together to avoid conflicting orders and maintain procedural propriety. The judgment was set aside and remanded to the Division Bench to hear both related appeals jointly.
