Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's review application regarding a decree of eviction under the Bombay Rent Act, emphasizing that the appellant, as a sub-tenant, failed to raise pertinent facts in a timely manner, which amounted to constructive res judicata. The Court found that the appellant's claims regarding the slum status of the property were not substantiated and that he had engaged in dilatory tactics to delay eviction. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's decision, ruling that the review application was both delayed and not bona fide.
