SUNITA SATISH PANDITAversusSATISH MAHESHWARNATH PANDITA

Decided
Disposal
Disposed Off

Holding

The respondent shall not evict the petitioner from the flat and must continue to pay the EMI.

Summary

Sunita Satish Pandita filed a writ petition seeking a direction that she not be evicted from a flat in Thane and that the respondent pay the EMI for the flat. The petitioner’s counsel requested leave to withdraw the petition. The court allowed the withdrawal, dismissed the petition, and disposed of any pending applications. Despite the withdrawal, the court issued an order directing the respondent not to evict the petitioner and to continue paying the EMI, and to refrain from creating any third‑party rights over the flat. The order effectively preserves the petitioner’s occupancy and financial obligations pending further resolution.

Issues considered

  • Whether the petitioner can be evicted from the flat without due procedure
  • Whether the respondent is obligated to pay the EMI for the flat
  • Whether the court can issue protective orders upon withdrawal of a petition

Subjects

  • eviction
  • tenancy
  • mortgage
  • writ petition
  • civil appellate jurisdiction
  • withdrawal of petition
