What happened
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India dismissed the Curative Petitions shared by Prem Kumar Menon against Lancor Holdings Limited and others, in a dispute over the commercial building Menon Eternity at St Mary's Road.
The matter was Curative Petition (C) Nos. 270-271 of 2026 in Review Petition (C) Nos. 280-281 of 2026 in Civil Appeal Nos. 10074-10075 of 2024. The order is dated 09.09.2026 and the signed copy was received by the company on 24.09.2026. The nature of the matter is civil.
The court's reasoning
The bench, comprising the Chief Justice and four other judges, considered the petitions by circulation and stated that no case to entertain the Curative Petitions was made out within the parameters laid down in Rupa Ashok Hurra vs. Ashok Hurra & Anr. Hence the petitions were dismissed, and any pending interlocutory application also stands disposed of.
Background
The Supreme Court had earlier dismissed the Review petition through an order dated 04.02.2026, confirming that the Sale Deeds registered in favour of the company, in respect of their portion in the commercial building Menon Eternity, are valid and lawful. That order established the company's rightful ownership and its ability to freely deal with the property. The petitioner then shared the Curative Petition, which has now also been dismissed.
Impact stated by the company
- The company will continue to be in possession of the property.
- It will be free to deal with the property in any manner it deems fit.
- The company is accepting the order and treating the litigation as closed in all respects.
The order records no monetary award or penalty. A curative petition is generally the final remedy available after an appeal and a review have been decided, so its dismissal removes the last stage of this challenge.
How investors may read it
The outcome is a favourable one for the company on a long-running property dispute, and it removes uncertainty over the title and use of its portion of the Menon Eternity commercial building.
