State Bank Of India vs Km. Chandra Govindji

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rent Controller to enhance the rent of the premises under Section 21(8) of the U.P. Urban Building (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, fixing it at Rs. 13,750/- per month based on a valuation report. The Court found that the appellant-Bank's request for adjournment due to the advocate's illness was not justified, as the Rent Controller had acted within its discretion. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
