Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Section 100 CPC by disturbing concurrent findings of fact without addressing the relevant notifications under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 and the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958. The Court emphasized that the interpretation of documents must consider the whole document and avoid absurdity. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower courts' decisions that barred civil court jurisdiction in the matter.
