CORAM : RAJNISH R. VYAS, J.
DATE : MAY 14, 2026.
The petitioners, who claim to be the sub-
tenants of respondent No.3, have approached this
Court, contending that they have been served with a
notice of eviction.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners has
argued that, though they were called upon to remain
present and they have filed their submissions, the order
impugned shows that the material pointed out by the
petitioners were not taken into consideration.
3. Per contra, learned counsel Mr. Kasat,
appearing for Respondent Nos.1 and 2, has vehemently
opposed the prayer, contending that the property in
question was leased out to respondent No.3, who has

accepted the order, and therefore, the petitioners, who
are sub-tenants, have no right to claim the possession.
He then prayed for time to file a detailed reply.
4. Considering the fact that the petitioners
are in possession of the property since last many years,
prima facie, I am inclined to protect their possession till
the returnable date. Hence, the following order:-
ORDER
(i) Issue notice to the respondents, returnable on 22/06/2026;
(ii) Mr. Kasat, learned counsel, waives service for respondent Nos.1 and 2;
(iii) Learned A.G.P. waives service for respondent No.4;
(iv) In the meanwhile, the parties are directed to maintain status-quo as regard the possession.
