Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 226 and Article 227 of the Constitution in setting aside the Appellate Court's judgment regarding eviction under Section 21 of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972. The Court emphasized that errors correctable by certiorari must be self-evident and not require extensive reasoning. The judgment of the Appellate Court was restored, affirming the landlord's bona fide requirement for the premises and the dilapidated condition of the shop.
