LAKHI RAM vs LEELA .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a premise that was set on fire constituted an integral part of a residential complex. The Court found that the lower courts had adopted a hyper-technical view regarding the definition of such structures. It granted liberty to the parties to raise this plea again in the trial court, emphasizing that the trial court should not be influenced by prior observations from the Sessions Court or the High Court. The appeal was disposed of with these clarifications.
