Munna Lal vs Lal Bahadur & Anr

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's interim order that increased the rent from Rs. 65 to Rs. 3000 per month without a valuation report or evidence, emphasizing the need for proper procedure in rent fixation. The Court directed the High Court to expeditiously hear and decide Civil Miscellaneous Writ Petition No. 24408/1992 within six months, noting the long-standing nature of the landlord's release application filed in 1973. The appeal was disposed of accordingly.
