Quick Summary: The Bombay High Court has temporarily stopped a case involving the State Bank of India (SBI) and Amum Builders over a disagreement about property and unpaid rent. Here's a breakdown of what led to this decision.
In this disagreement, SBI, a big bank, is in a conflict with Amum Builders, a company. The argument is about a building in Vile Parle, Mumbai. Amum Builders, who own the building, want SBI to leave. At first, the trial court sided with SBI, but another court later partly disagreed and told SBI to leave.
SBI didn't agree with the second court's decision and asked for another review in 2021. They got temporary relief, which means the court stopped the previous order while this new review is happening.
"While we are waiting for the final decision on this review, this court will stop the previous order from being enforced."
Amum Builders asked for money they believe SBI owes them for using the building without permission. SBI wanted this request to be paused, saying the temporary relief should cover everything, including the unpaid rent.
Judge N. J. Jamadar looked at the case and agreed with SBI. The court decided to pause the unpaid rent proceedings until the final decision on SBI's review request.
"Continuing with the unpaid rent case doesn't seem right at this time."
SBI's Argument: Their lawyer, Ms. Sonal, said the temporary relief included everything, so the unpaid rent case should wait. She also mentioned that SBI was already paying some money to protect Amum Builders' interests.
Amum Builders' Argument: Mr. Khandeparkar, representing Amum Builders, thought the unpaid rent case should continue separately. He used examples from other cases to support his view.
Right now, the Bombay High Court has decided to pause the unpaid rent case. This means that until the main review is finished, the money dispute is on hold. Everyone is waiting to see how the main case will end and what it will mean for both sides.
