Rajesh Mitra @ Rajesh Kumar Mitra vs Karnani Properties Limited

The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court erred in granting eviction based solely on an alleged admission made by the appellant in an unrelated case, which did not meet the criteria for 'judgment on admission' under Order XII Rule 6 CPC. The Court emphasized that such admissions must be unconditional, unequivocal, and unambiguous, and the reliance on a deposition from another case was inappropriate. Consequently, the Court set aside the eviction order, reinforcing the need for proper legal standards in tenancy disputes under the 1997 Act.
