LEELABAI GAJANAN PANSARE vs ORIENTAL INSURANCE CO.LTD..

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 3(1)(b) of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, determining whether a Government Company qualifies as a 'public sector undertaking' under the statute. The Court held that Government Companies are not exempt from the provisions of the Rent Act as they do not fall within the definition of public sector undertakings. Consequently, the appeal against the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the eviction suit was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
