In Brief
A property dispute between Pradeepkumar Gordhandas Patel and Chandrakant Jivanlal Patel involved a suit for specific performance of a contract and execution of a Sale Deed. While the suit was pending, the respondent filed an application for vacant possession. The respondent obtained an order directing the appellant to vacate. The Supreme Court set aside this vacation order, holding that no eviction order had been passed and the substantive suit remained undecided. The appeal was partly allowed to preserve the status quo pending final determination of the parties' rights."
