Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1973, specifically Section 1(3), exempts buildings completed after the Act's commencement from its provisions for ten years. The Court ruled that since the decrees for possession were passed after the ten-year moratorium expired, the Act was applicable, and the appellants' argument that the Court lost jurisdiction was rejected. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, upholding the decrees for possession against the appellants.
