Municipal Corporation Of Greater ... vs Vivek V. Gawde

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's order directing the Inquiry Officer under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888 to frame points for determination in eviction proceedings. The Court held that such framing of points by the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction and contradicted the summary nature of eviction proceedings as outlined in Chapter V-A of the Act. The Court emphasized that the Inquiry Officer must adhere to fair procedures and binding legal principles, ultimately allowing the appeal and setting aside the High Court's order.
