KANCHANA vs P.MANIAN — C.A. No. 1509/2000

Case Summary: Kanchana v. P. Manian (C.A. No. 1509/2000) On February 28, 2002, the Supreme Court allowed the appellant Kanchana's appeal against the High Court's order that had set aside eviction proceedings. The landlady had sought eviction of tenant Manian for wilful default in rent payment (March 1985–February 1986); both the trial court and appellate authority found wilful default, but the High Court reversed this without proper examination. The Supreme Court restored the lower courts' eviction orders, finding the High Court erred in its reasoning. The respondent was granted six months (until August 31, 2002) to vacate the two shop premises and return possession, subject to filing an undertaking within four weeks. No costs were awarded.
