The High Court disposed of a writ petition filed in 2004 seeking rent fixation and business continuation. The Court held that the petition was barred by efflux of time and noted the authorities could initiate action subject to factual verification.
The writ petition was disposed of; no directions were granted to fix rent or permit business continuation.
