Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of Section 13(2) of the Chhattisgarh Rent Control Act, 2011, which allows appeals directly to the Supreme Court from the Rent Control Tribunal. The Court expressed doubts regarding the legislative competence of the Chhattisgarh State legislature to enact such a provision, referencing Articles 138(2) and 200 of the Constitution of India. The appeal was referred to a Constitution Bench for determination of whether the provision is ultra vires the Constitution.
