| Hearing Date |
Nov 24, 1998 |
| Decision |
The appeal under section 24 of the Cantonment Rent Restriction Act, 1963, was dismissed. The court found that the tenants failed to contest the case adequately, and the Rent Controller's order for ejectment was upheld. The court noted that the tenants had multiple opportunities to present their case but did not do so, leading to a confirmation of the landlord's bona fide need for the property. The court emphasized that the conduct of the tenants amounted to an abuse of the judicial process, and thus, the appeal was dismissed with costs, requiring the appellant to vacate the premises within sixty days. |
