    The Principal Rent Control Appellate Authority, Kottayam allowed the appeal and set aside the trial court's dismissal of the rent control petition. The court held that a single petition seeking both fixation of fair rent under Section 5(1) and eviction under Section 11(2)(b) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent) Control Act is maintainable and does not constitute misjoinder of causes of action, relying on established High Court precedents allowing combined reliefs when fair rent is sought only until the eviction order date. The case was remanded to the trial court for fresh disposal on merits. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
