Nutan Kumar And Ors vs Iind Additional District Judge & Ors

The court addressed whether a lease agreement entered into between a landlord and tenant in contravention of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, is void and unenforceable. The primary legal issue concerns the validity of private contracts that bypass statutory rent control protections. The court examines whether a decree for ejectment can be granted based on such an illegal agreement.
