M/S. M. Subbarao & Sons vs Yashodamma & Ors

The court examined the impact of the repeal of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961, and the enactment of the new Karnataka Rent Act, 1999, on pending eviction proceedings. The primary issue was whether a decree of eviction passed under the old Act remains enforceable or is affected by the legislative change. The ruling emphasizes the continuity of legal proceedings and the preservation of rights accrued under the repealed legislation.
