Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the eviction decree under Section 12(1)(c) of the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961, as both the trial court and the first appellate court had concurrently found the landlord entitled to eviction due to non-payment of rent. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not interfere in second appeals when there is no substantial question of law. The eviction decree was restored, affirming the landlord's rights under the Act.
