JUDGMENT :
Ashish Naithani, J.
The present writ petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India by the Petitioners, who claim to be the landlords of the premises in dispute, assailing the judgment dated 15.12.2011 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Rishikesh, District Dehradun in SCCR No. 49 of 2010 ( Ram Kumar v.

Small Causes Court decree in eviction suit is not nullity despite disputed tenancy, as court competent to adjudicate relationship; execution objections under Section 47 CPC cannot reopen merits.
The revisional court can correct trial court findings based on legal misinterpretation, especially when admissions negate the need for further proof.
