JUDGMENT
A. Muhamed Mustaque, J.
We find that there is no scope for interference at this
stage to interfere with the proceedings before the Rent Control
Appellate Authority. The Rent Control Appellate Authority has
scheduled the matter to pass orders under Section 12(3) of the
Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, on
26.07.2025. Therefore, the petitioner is given liberty to
challenge the final outcome, if so aggrieved.
2. We request the Execution Court not to effect
delivery before 26.07.2025.
With liberty as above, the original petition stands
dismissed.
