NUTAN KUAMR vs IIND ADDITIONAL DISTRICT JUDGE

The case concerns whether a lease agreement executed in contravention of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, is void and unenforceable. The Appellants challenge a High Court decision based on a Full Bench ruling regarding the validity of such agreements and the subsequent ability of a landlord to obtain a decree for ejectment. The court examines the interplay between private contractual agreements and statutory protections afforded to tenants under the 1972 Act.
