HINDUSTAN PETROLEUM CORPN. LTD. vs DILBAHAR SINGH

The Supreme Court referred the matter to a 5-Judge Bench to resolve conflicting interpretations of 'legality and propriety' under Section 15(6) of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1973, as seen in Rukmini Amma Saradamma v. Kallyani Sulochana and Ram Dass v. Ishwar Chander. The Court noted that while Rukmini held that revisional courts cannot re-appreciate evidence, Ram Dass allowed for such reappraisal. The Court emphasized the need for a larger bench to clarify this issue, which affects various rent control legislations, including the Kerala and Tamil Nadu Rent Control Acts.
