Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interference in 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 concurrent findings of fact by the trial court and appellate authority. The Court emphasized that the High Court's revisional powers should only be exercised in cases of illegality, irregularity, or impropriety. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for fresh disposal, without commenting on the merits.
