High Court halts Medical and Dental Council Common Registration exams fixed for Oct. 22
Ruling follows an application by the Federation of Ghana Medical Students’ Associations challenging the mandatory examination.
A man's legal challenges have prevented the execution of a 1974 eviction order for over five decades, with the Bombay High Court expressing dismay over the landowner's heirs being unable to benefit from the decree for 52 years. The court dismissed the appellant's plea, deeming it a "gross abuse of process of law" and recalling a 1872 ruling that "the difficulties of a litigant in India begin when he has obtained a decree."
The case involves an agricultural property in Pune, originally leased to the Poona Fuel Merchants Association, which fell behind on rent and led to a court battle. In 1974, the trial court ordered the association to return possession to its owner, Haribhau Savalaram Ladkat, and the high court upheld this eviction order when the association appealed.
The current dispute stems from the landowner's heirs deliberately obstructing the implementation of the 1974 order, which began in 1999 when the man claimed tenancy. The court ruled that the appellant's argument that the 1974 order was invalid was self-defeating, as it would also negate his right as a tenant, since the original owners were the victorious party in the 1974 case.
