VASU DEV SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA

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 ruled that the Administrator of Chandigarh acted within his powers, and the notification did not violate any constitutional provisions. Consequently, the appeals challenging the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions were dismissed, affirming the notification's legality.
