In Brief
This appeal concerns a landlord's eviction petition where the Rent Controller determined provisional rent. The Supreme Court held that contentious factual issues—such as the provisional rent amount and claimed expenditure—cannot be decided at the interim stage without evidence from the parties. The Court emphasised that equities must be balanced provisionally to protect both landlord and tenant, ensuring neither is put to loss pending final adjudication of the rent dispute.
