H. S. Yadav vs Shakuntala Devi Parakh

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of Section 13(2) of the Chhattisgarh Rent Control Act, 2011, which allows for a direct appeal to the Supreme Court from the Rent Control Tribunal. The Court held that such a provision is inconsistent with the hierarchy of appeals established under the Constitution, particularly Articles 136, 226, and 227, which govern the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and High Courts. Consequently, the Court ruled that the provision for direct appeal to the Supreme Court is invalid and unconstitutional, thereby upholding the established appellate framework.
