Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant was occupying the respondent's land for mining operations and was ordered to vacate in HC 1430/17. After his appeal was dismissed, he obtained a mining registration certificate via a subsequent court order in HC 571/21. The respondent then sought to execute the original eviction order, prompting the applicant to file this urgent application to stay the eviction pending a determination on the validity of his new mining rights.
