Judgment text excerpt
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 based on the circumstances of the case. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for the High Court to dispose of the writ petition in accordance with law.
