SMT. DHANWANTI vs D.D. GUPTA

The Supreme Court held that under Article 136 of the Constitution, it can interfere with findings of fact by lower courts when grave injustice results from a misconstruction of facts. The Court found that the Rent Control Tribunal erred in concluding that the appellant landlady had committed fraud in obtaining permission under Section 21 of the Delhi Rent Control Act. The Court allowed the appeal, reinstating the landlady's right to possession of the premises, emphasizing that the respondent's objections were unfounded.
