Md. Iqbal vs Atma Ram & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Additional District Judge, Saharanpur, which had increased the rent from Rs. 150/- to Rs. 2100/- per month, holding that the High Court should not have mandated such a significant increase without proper justification. The Court emphasized the need for a fair assessment of rent in accordance with the law, directing the High Court to dispose of the writ petition appropriately. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the previous rent amount.
