In Brief
A landlord appealed a High Court decision that had quashed an eviction order from the Slum Authority. The landlord claimed bona fide need for the premises and that the tenant had defaulted on rent. The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in interfering under Article 227 when the Appellate Authority had thoroughly examined the statutory requirements and the tenant had received full procedural opportunity to present his case. The Court restored the eviction order, emphasizing that Article 227 should not be used to disturb specialized authority orders that follow due process.
