M/S.SHREE CHAMUNDI MOPEDS LTD. vs CHURCH OF SOUTH INDIA TRUST ASSON.

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 22(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985, in relation to eviction proceedings initiated under Section 21(1) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961. The Court held that the stay order from the Delhi High Court did not suspend the eviction proceedings, as these were not covered under the protections of Section 22(1). Consequently, the Court upheld the dismissal of the tenant-company's revision petition, affirming that the tenant must pay arrears of rent to seek relief under the Rent Control Act.
