Raj Singh vs Achal Mishra And Others

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition for non-compliance with the deposit order in Civil Appeal No.3322 of 1998 was justified, as the appellant failed to deposit Rs.3,00,000/- within the stipulated time. The Court modified the earlier order, allowing the appellant to pay a reduced amount of Rs.1,54,140/- instead, acknowledging a prior payment made by the appellant. The Court emphasized the importance of compliance with judicial directions and upheld the eviction order under Section 18(3) of the U.P. Rent Control Act, stating that the High Court erred in staying the eviction without proper jurisdiction.
