Jai Prakash vs Gulab Singh Rathore

The Supreme Court upheld the ex-parte decree for eviction and the order for arrears of rent amounting to Rs.29,700, confirming the lower courts' decisions. However, the Court set aside the award of damages at the rate of Rs.27.50 per day from the date of filing of the eviction petition until possession was delivered, finding no justification for such damages. The appeal was disposed of accordingly, affirming the eviction but modifying the damages awarded.
