Gandhe Vijay Kumar vs Mulji @ Mulchand

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by re-appreciating evidence in a rent control case, emphasizing that in revisional jurisdiction, the court's role is limited to determining whether findings of fact are illegal or perverse, as established in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. v. Dilbahar Singh. The Court clarified that the revisional power under the Rent Control Acts does not equate to that of an appellate court, and thus, the High Court cannot interfere with factual findings unless they are legally flawed. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the findings of the Rent Controller.
