3. This appeal impugns judgment and order of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana [The High Court] at Chandigarh dated 27.09.2018, whereby the High Court allowed Civil Revision No. 7550 of 2012 filed by the respondent under Section 15 (5) of The East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 [The 1949 Act] and set aside the eviction order passed by the Rent Controller, as affirmed by the Appellate Authority.
4. In short, the facts giving rise to this appeal, inter alia, are:
Revisional jurisdiction under the Rent Act cannot be equated with appellate jurisdiction; it is limited to assessing legality and propriety without re-evaluating evidence.
The main legal point established is that the termination of tenancy under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act must be valid, and the acceptance of rent after the expiry of the lease period do....
A sale agreement’s unregistered status does not negate prior landlord-tenant relationships unless expressly stated; implied surrender can determine tenancy cessation.
Landlords must provide sufficient evidence of bona fide need and continuous occupation for successful eviction petitions.
A tenant cannot amend their written statement to contradict a prior denial of landlord-tenant relationship, as this would alter the fundamental nature of the case.
