K. BALAKRISHNA RAO AND ORS. vs HAZI ABDULLA SAIT AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that Section 3 of the Amending Act applies to the suit, which was instituted in the City Civil Court, as the building was exempt from the Principal Act under Section 30(iii). The Court found that the Division Bench's conclusion that Section 3 was not applicable was erroneous, emphasizing that it was not for the court to question the legislature's justification for the provision. The appeal was allowed, affirming that the suit did not abate on June 30, 1964, and the defendants were not entitled to protection against eviction under the amended Principal Act.
