casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Shaw Wallace & Co. v. Govindas Purushothamdas The Supreme Court dismissed Shaw Wallace & Co.'s appeal challenging the High Court of Madras's revision order that increased fair rent from Rs. 22,403 to Rs. 28,000 per month. The court held that the High Court properly included 1,752 sq.ft. of platform and henpen structures within the building's plinth area for rent calculation purposes, as the statutory definition of "building" under the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 encompasses appurtenant structures. The court also affirmed the High Court's wider revisional jurisdiction to correct concurrent findings of fact when lower courts ignored admissions in landlords' pleadings regarding the actual plinth area of 6,602 sq.ft.
