#sub-tenant rights

Madras High Court affirms that lawful possession, even without title, entitles sub-tenants to protection from structural interference until final adjudication of the civil suit. The ruling prevents demolition of common walls, safeguarding occupants' rights pending legal resolution.

The Madras High Court ruled that a writ petitioner under Article 226 cannot challenge a demolition order affecting third parties if their own rights are protected by an undertaking. The Court reiterated that relief under Article 226 must be confined to the petitioner's personal legal interest, reinforcing the principle of locus standi in public law remedies.
