O.P.(Crl) No.995 of 2023 Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2024
JUDGMENT
Read order dated 16.02.2024.
2. The learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the first respondent submitted that the said respondent is not ready for any mediation. Hence the question of mediation between the parties does not arise.
3. The original petition was filed seeking a declaration that the question
of law left open by the Supreme Court has to be decided by the High Court in accordance with law before ordering eviction and also for a direction that the petitioner is entitled to reside in the share household till the matter left open by the Supreme Court is decided by the High Court.
4. By the impugned order dated 16.02.2024, this Court had already
clarified that the question of law, if any, left open by the Supreme Court is not an indication of the case being revived in the form of a remand or for further consideration, but that as and when the question raised before the court arises in another case, those questions shall not be treated as finally decided. In view of the above observations, the relief sought for in this original petition cannot be entertained. Accordingly, this original petition is dismissed.
