MOTI RAM vs SURAJ BHAN & OTHERS.

The Supreme Court ruled that the amendment to Section 15 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, allowing for a revision to the High Court, was applicable to pending appeals, thus affirming the High Court's jurisdiction to intervene. The Court clarified that the finality of the appellate authority's decision could only be established after the decision was made, and since the amendment was in force at that time, the earlier provisions could not claim finality. The Court upheld the High Court's decree for eviction based on the amended provisions of Section 13(3)(a)(iii).
