In Brief
Suresh Thakar and Aditya Parakh were appellants in a rent arrears matter before the Supreme Court. The key issue was whether Chhattisgarh State could validly enact a law allowing direct appeal to the Supreme Court, bypassing the High Court. However, the Court declined to address this constitutional question. Finding concurrent judgments against the appellants at the lower levels and an admitted willful default in rent payment, the Court dismissed the appeals on factual grounds, leaving the jurisdictional question open. The appellants were granted time to vacate with conditions, including continued rent payment and clearance of arrears.
