RAJENDER BANSAL vs BHURU (D) THR. LRS. .

The Supreme Court held that once an area is brought under the Haryana Rent Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973, the jurisdiction of civil courts to adjudicate eviction suits ceases, and landlords must seek eviction through the Rent Controller. The Court clarified that the applicability of the Rent Act extends to pending suits if the area is notified during the pendency, thus providing tenants with protection under the Act. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decree for eviction based on the new jurisdictional framework.
