N.M. VAIDYA(DEAD) BY LRS. . vs DATTATRAY SHANKER TAWARE . — C.A. No. 7899 - 7900/2001

Case Summary: C.A. No. 007899-007900/2001 The Supreme Court allowed the appeals filed by N.M. Vaidya's legal heirs (landlords) against tenants Dattatray Shanker Taware, setting aside the Bombay High Court's 1999 judgment. The dispute concerned monthly rent in an eviction suit: appellants claimed Rs. 60/- while tenants claimed Rs. 15/-. Both trial and first appellate courts found the rent was Rs. 60/-, but the High Court interfered in writ jurisdiction. The Supreme Court held the High Court cannot override factual findings without legal error, restored the lower courts' orders, and made no costs award (18 February 2009).
