Sulochanabai Swaropchand Chawre vs Additional Commissioner, Amravati Division, Amravati & Ors

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

Sulochanabai Swaropchand Chawre's layout for a property was modified by authorities who created a 6-metre road through her western plot to provide access to respondent no.4's agricultural field. The appellant challenged this through multiple appeals, but the High Court dismissed her writ petition without detailed reasoning. The Supreme Court allowed her appeal, finding the High Court's order inadequately addressed crucial questions about easement rights and whether respondent no.4 had any legal entitlement to access through her property. The matter was remanded to the High Court for fresh, detailed consideration with status quo maintained and conditions placed on respondent no.4's land conversion.
