LEKH RAJ (DEAD) vs MUNI LAL .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's exercise of revisional jurisdiction under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, specifically Section 13. The Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by reversing the appellate court's findings based on the report of a local Commissioner, which was not permissible under the Act. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the appellate court's decision that the shop was fit for human habitation.
