TARSEM SINGH vs RAMESH CHAND AGGARWAL — C.A. No. 8278/2002

Summary: Civil Appeal No. 8278 of 2002 The Supreme Court allowed Tarsem Singh's appeal against the High Court's dismissal of his eviction petition. Singh, retiring on 30th April 1992, sought to recover his rented premises under Section 15(2) of the Himachal Pradesh Urban Rent Control Act, 1987. The High Court had rejected his petition solely because he lacked a formal certificate from the competent authority, overlooking a retirement notification issued by the Governor and the letter from the Superintendent Engineer confirming his retirement. The Court held the High Court erred in adopting an overly technical view and found all statutory requirements satisfied. The Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the revision petition (Civil Revision No. 386 of 1998) to the High Court for disposal on merits within six months.
