SHAMA PRASHANT RAJE vs GANPATRAO . — C.A. No. 5450/2000

Case Summary: Shama Prashant Raje v. Ganpatrao The Supreme Court dismissed the tenant's appeal and upheld the High Court's decision permitting eviction under the Rent Control Order, 1949. The Court found the tenant was a habitual defaulter (repeatedly paying rent late, including only after distress warrants), and that subletting to Singer Sewing Machine Company had occurred (evidenced by Rs. 1,500/month consideration and exclusive company possession), despite the Appellate Authority's contrary findings. The Court held the High Court properly interfered with the Appellate Authority's manifest errors in construing documents and misreading evidence on mixed questions of fact and law.
