Kasilingam vs Abharanji Chettiar

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's revisional jurisdiction under Section 25 of the Pondicherry Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1969 is broader than that under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, but it cannot interfere lightly with findings of fact made by the Appellate Authority. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to maintain the Trial Court's eviction order against the tenant, emphasizing that the High Court's role is not to reappreciate evidence but to ensure the regularity and legality of proceedings. Consequently, the appeals by the tenant-appellant were dismissed.
