Tejas Karia, J
Sobha Singh And Sons Pvt. Ltd. – Appellant
Versus
Union Of India – Respondent
RSA 108/2026 | CM APPL. 39010/2026 | CM APPL. 39011/2026



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Sandeep Sethi, Sudhir Nandrajog, Shaunak Kashyap, Mayanka Dhawan, Vikram Kalra, Monika Phartyal, Ankita Singh
For the Respondents: CGSC

A stay of a judgment may be deemed unnecessary if the respondent formally undertakes that parallel administrative recovery or eviction proceedings will be conducted independently and without being influenced by the contested judgment, thereby preserving the parties' legal rights.

Headnote:The appellant filed a Regular Second Appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, challenging the judgment dated 09.06.2026 passed by the District Court which set aside a previous judgment dated 31.08.2009. The appellant further sought a stay of the impugned judgment under Order XLI Rule 5 read with Section 151 of the CPC due to an imminent threat of eviction under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. The court examined whether an ad-interim stay was necessary given the respondent's issuance of an eviction notice. The ratio decidendi rests on the statement by the respondent's counsel that proceedings under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971 shall be conducted without reference to or being influenced by the impugned judgment, thereby reserving all rights and contentions of the parties. The appeal is admitted, and the respondent is directed to be bound by the statement that eviction proceedings shall proceed independently of the impugned judgment, resulting in no requirement for an ad-interim stay.

Table of Content
1. admission of regular second appeal and summoning of lower court records. (Para 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7)
2. application for stay of execution amidst concurrent eviction proceedings under the pp act. (Para 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15)
3. dispensing with interim stay based on a judicial statement ensuring proceedings remain independent. (Para 16 , 17 , 18 , 19)
