Judgment text excerpt
The Court addressed whether eviction proceedings initiated under the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961, would abate upon the enactment of the Karnataka Rent Act, 1999. It was established that the non-residential suit premises exceeded 14 square metres, exempting them from the 1999 Act under Section 2(3)(g). Consequently, the Court ruled that the proceedings stood abated pursuant to Section 70(2)(c) of the 1999 Act.
