Kanchana vs P. Manian

The Supreme Court examined the High Court's decision in CRP No. 2674/93, which set aside the eviction order based on a finding of wilful default in rent payment under the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease & Rent Control) Act, 1960, specifically Section 11(4). The Court held that the High Court erred in not reversing the findings of the lower authorities, emphasizing that wilful default is a question of fact that should not be disturbed unless there is a misreading of evidence. The Court reinstated the eviction order, affirming the findings of the rent controller and appellate authority.
