Supreme Court Upholds High Court Judgment in Mananthawady Co-Operative Urban Society Case

Special Leave Petitions Dismissed; Liberty Granted to Petitioners to Seek Extension from High Court

In a recent decision, the Supreme Court of India has dismissed the special leave petitions filed by the Mananthawady Co-Operative Urban Society Ltd and others, thereby upholding the judgment passed by the High Court. The case, titled "Mananthawady Co-Operative Urban Society Ltd v. Ravi Ulliyeri & Ors.," was presided over by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi.

The petitioners had approached the Supreme Court seeking special leave against a decision rendered by the High Court. However, after considering the arguments presented by the petitioners' counsel, the Supreme Court found no substantial grounds to interfere with the High Court's judgment. Consequently, the special leave petitions were dismissed.

In its order dated December 5, 2025, the Supreme Court granted the petitioners the liberty to approach the High Court again if they can establish a case for an extension of time. This provision allows the petitioners a potential opportunity to seek further relief, provided they can demonstrate valid reasons to the High Court.

The legal representatives for the petitioners included Senior Advocate Mr. P.V. Surendranath, along with Advocates Mr. Manu Krishnan G, Ms. Smrithi V S, Mr. Sawan Kumar Shukla, Mr. Shailendra Kumar, and Ms. Smrithi VS.

This decision emphasizes the Supreme Court's stance on maintaining the integrity of High Court rulings unless compelling reasons are presented to justify interference. The Supreme Court's order also highlighted that any pending applications related to the case stand disposed of.

Bottom Line:

Special leave petitions dismissed by the Supreme Court as no ground was found to interfere with the High Court's judgment. Liberty granted to petitioners to approach the High Court for extension of time, if a case is made out.
