RAMJI DAS & ORS. vs TRILOK CHAND ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the decision of the Rent Control and Eviction Officer under Section 3 of the U.P. (Temporary) Control of Rent and Eviction Act, 1947 is quasi-judicial and final unless challenged under Section 7-F of the Act. The Court ruled that the High Court's dismissal of the landlord's suit was erroneous as the officer's permission to file for eviction was valid, despite the High Court's view that tenant's needs were not considered. The Court emphasized that the only remedy for the tenant was to approach the State Government under the Act, thus upholding the landlord's right to evict the tenant.
