Sugarbai M. Siddiq And Ors vs Ramesh S. Hankare (D) By Lrs

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interference under Article 227 of the Constitution in the eviction proceedings was unwarranted as it disturbed findings of fact established by the trial court and appellate court regarding non-payment of rent under Section 12(3)(a) and Section 13(g) of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates (Control) Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not reappreciate evidence but rather assess jurisdictional issues and procedural irregularities. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the eviction decree.
