HARVARDHAN CHOKKANI vs BHUPENDRA N.PATEL

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in determining that the appellant was the tenant of the premises, as the evidence indicated that the firm was the actual tenant. The Court emphasized that the question of tenancy is a factual matter and should not have been re-evaluated by the High Court under Section 22 of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960. The appeal was allowed, reversing the High Court's decision and reinstating the findings of the lower authorities.
