M/S. Ambalal Sarabhai Enterprises Ltd vs M/S. Amrit Lal & Co. & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional conflict between the Rent Controller under the Delhi Rent Control Act and the ordinary Civil Court concerning eviction proceedings. It interpreted Section 3(c) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, which exempts premises with a monthly rent exceeding Rs. 3500 from the Act's purview, holding that the amendment applies to pending eviction cases. Consequently, the Court ruled that the Rent Act was inapplicable to the tenancy in question, affirming the High Court's decision to allow the landlord's appeal and dismiss the tenant's revision.
