Vishwanath Saraogi vs Ravi Bhatia And Ors.

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order increasing the rent from Rs. 150/- to Rs. 6800/- per month, holding that the High Court acted unjustifiably in allowing the landlord to evict the tenant without overturning prior favorable orders for the tenant. The Court emphasized that the landlord's request was made in a pending writ petition and that the increase was excessive given the circumstances. The Court directed the High Court to resolve the pending writ petition within three months, allowing the tenant to continue paying the last agreed rent.
