Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interference in the eviction proceedings under Section 10(3)(a) of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960 was improper as it did not provide reasons for overturning the concurrent findings of fact by the trial court and appellate authority. The Court emphasized that the High Court should only intervene if there is a clear illegality or impropriety in the lower court's order. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for fresh disposal, restoring the original proceedings.
