PATEL VALMIK HIMATLAL vs PATEL MOHANLAL MULJIBHAI — C.A. No. 7153/1996

Case Summary The Supreme Court allowed the landlord's appeal, holding that the tenant unlawfully sublet a Bhavnagar shop (let for timber business at Rs. 111/month) to Patel Transport Company without consent. The Court found the High Court erred by re-appreciating evidence beyond its limited revisional jurisdiction under Section 29(2) of the Bombay Rents Act; the trial and first appellate courts' concurrent findings of sub-letting were correct and required no correction.
