Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that Section 7(2) of the Accommodation Control Act (M. P. 15 of 1950) requires notice but does not mandate that it must be issued after the Act's enforcement. The Court held that the notice given prior to the Act's implementation was sufficient, allowing the appellant's suit for rent fixation to proceed without a fresh notice. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decree for rent fixation.
