Judgment text excerpt
The court examined whether the Central Provinces and Berar Letting of Houses and Rent Control Order, 1949, applied to suit premises located in Risod. The primary issue was whether the application of rent control laws was triggered automatically once Risod was notified as a Municipality on 09.10.1989. The court analyzed the timeline of the lease agreements and the subsequent notification of the area's municipal status to determine the applicability of eviction protections.
