The High Court dismissed two civil miscellaneous petitions filed by the petitioner seeking impleadment and an interim stay. The Court held that the petitioner lacked locus standi as he was not a party to the lease agreement nor had privity of contract with the landlord.
Petitioner's petitions for impleadment and interim stay are dismissed.
