SUGARBAI M SIDDIQ vs RAMESH S HANKARE (DEAD) BY LRS

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interference under Article 227 of the Constitution was unwarranted as it disturbed the factual findings of the trial and appellate courts 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 in such matters and should respect the findings of fact established by lower courts. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the eviction decree.
