C.V. Rajendran And Anr vs N.M. Muhammed Kunhi

The Supreme Court addressed whether a finding by the Rent Control Appellate Authority regarding the maintainability of an eviction petition under the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, can be reagitated after the case is remanded to the Rent Controller. The central issue concerns the application of Section 15 of the Act and whether a determination on the bar of a second eviction petition is final. The Court examined the legal effect of a remand order on previous findings of maintainability.
