KARAM SINGH SOBTI & ANR. vs SHRI PRATAP CHAND & ANR.

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 57 of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, which repealed the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952, while allowing pending proceedings to continue under the old Act. The Court held that the High Court could interfere under Section 35 of the 1952 Act if the lower court's finding of acquiescence in subletting was unsupported by evidence. Consequently, the High Court's decision to allow the revision petition was upheld, emphasizing that a finding without evidence does not constitute a lawful decision.
