TANAUWWAR NABI KHAN vs RASHIK AHMAD

The Supreme Court examined the application of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, specifically Section 18(3), in a dispute regarding the allotment of premises. The Court held that the Rent Control and Eviction Officer's order to allot the premises to the appellant was valid as it was made with the consent of the landlord's representative, despite subsequent claims of cancellation of the Power of Attorney. The High Court's decision to set aside the allotment was overturned, reinstating the appellant's rights to the premises.
