In Brief
In this civil appeal, the Supreme Court examined whether to interfere with a rent court's procedural order. The appellant challenged the rent court's direction to file a written statement. Recognising that the tenant had been given a fair opportunity to present their defence, the Court declined to interfere. Instead, it directed the rent court to conclude the rent case within two months, mandating cooperation from both parties. The appeal was disposed of with no order as to costs, with the understanding that if the tenant failed to cooperate, the rent court would proceed according to law.
