Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the High Court's judgment which set aside the eviction order under Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act, 1887. The Court reaffirmed that the determination of rent is a factual issue and upheld the High Court's finding that the rent was Rs. 250/- per month, not Rs. 1500/- as claimed by the landlord. The Court emphasized the importance of evidence in establishing the rate of rent and the validity of the eviction notice, ultimately dismissing the landlord's appeal.
