E.U.Siddiqui vs Parvez Zafar Sarkar

The Supreme Court allowed the tenant's appeals against the High Court's order that increased the rent from Rs.500 to Rs.6,000 with retrospective effect, which was not an issue before the High Court. The Court found merit in the tenant's contention that there was no basis for the rent increase and set aside the relevant paragraph of the High Court's order. The appeals were allowed with no order as to costs, and the landlord's separate petition was not addressed.
