RENA DREGO vs LALCHAND SONI ETC

The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court exceeded its supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution by quashing the eviction decree granted to the landlady under Section 13(1)(g) of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not have relied on fresh materials not presented before the lower tribunal and that findings of fact should not be disturbed unless they are perverse. The Court reinstated the eviction decree, recognizing the landlady's bona fide need for additional accommodation for her family.
