Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 227 of the Constitution in a civil revision petition concerning eviction and lease rent disputes. The High Court dismissed the revision petition, relying on its supervisory powers under Article 227, and the Supreme Court upheld this decision. The case underscores the limited scope of High Court interference under Article 227 in civil matters, emphasizing respect for the subordinate courts' findings unless there is a clear error of jurisdiction or law.
