Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure by interfering with the orders of the lower courts in a rent control matter. The Court emphasized that Section 18(5) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease & Rent Control) Act, 1965, states that the decision of the Rent Controller is final and can only be questioned as provided in Section 20, thereby prohibiting further revisions. The Court set aside the High Court's order, affirming the finality intended by the legislature in the Act.
