Vasu Dev Singh & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the notification issued under Section 3 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, which exempted buildings with a monthly rent exceeding Rs. 1,500 from the Act's provisions. The Court clarified that the Administrator's power to issue such notifications is within the legislative framework established by the Act. Consequently, the appeals challenging the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions were dismissed, affirming the notification's legality and the applicability of the Act to lower-rent premises.
