Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's revision under Section 13(3) of the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1950, which set aside the lower courts' determination of provisional rent at Rs. 400/- per month. The Court held that the lower courts had committed a jurisdictional error and should have determined the rent at Rs. 200/- per month, the last paid amount. The Court allowed the revision petition, setting aside the previous orders and directing the lower court to adjust the provisional rent accordingly, emphasizing that this amount is interim pending final decision as per Section 13(8) of the Act.
