SURENDRA KUMAR JAIN vs SHANTI SWAROOP JAIN — C.A. No. 6546/1995

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's decision and remitted the case back for reconsideration on the proper interpretation of when a building's construction is "deemed completed" under the U.P. Urban Building (Regulation of Letting Rent and Eviction) Act 1972. The court held that the earliest relevant date—whether municipal notice for assessment, local authority recording, or actual occupation—should determine deemed completion, not merely the assessment date of 1981 as the High Court had decided. A stay on eviction was imposed pending the High Court's reconsideration within four months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
