A temporary order to vacate the premises was not granted by the court to Aasandha in the case involving a pharmacy at Hulhumale' Hospital.

The Civil Court has decided that an order to vacate the premises cannot be issued at this time in the case where Aasandha Company is suing to recover more than MVR 12 million in connection with the operation of a pharmacy at Hulhumalé Hospital.

Aasandha Company filed a lawsuit against Santria Private Limited in the Civil Court, stating that the company continues to use the space despite the expiration of the agreement made with them in 2017 to operate the Hulhumalé Hospital pharmacy, and to recover more than MVR 12 million in rent, revenue share, and damages.

In this case, Aasandha Company requested a temporary order against Suntria to vacate the premises and to refrain from actions such as leasing the space to another party.

The Civil Court decided yesterday that issuing a temporary order to vacate the premises would amount to determining the main merits of the actual case in advance. Therefore, the court's decision stated that a temporary order to vacate the premises cannot be issued.

However, the decision noted that leasing the space to another party could result in damage that would be difficult to restore. Therefore, the decision stated that an order is issued against Suntria prohibiting the lease of the premises to another party until the case is concluded.
