Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by reassessing evidence in a writ petition concerning an eviction under Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Urban Building (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972. The Court emphasized that the High Court should limit itself to questions of law and not interfere with factual findings of the appellate authority unless perverse. The Court restored the order of the appellate authority, affirming the landlord's bona fide requirement for the premises and rejecting the High Court's directive for a reassessment of evidence.
