M/S. AMBALAL SARABHAI ENTERPRISES LTD. vs M/S. AMRIT LAL & CO., . — C.A. No. 5706/2001

Case Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the tenant's appeals, ruling that the Rent Controller retained jurisdiction to continue an eviction proceeding initiated in 1985, despite an 1988 amendment that excluded high-rent tenancies (over Rs.3500/month) from the Delhi Rent Control Act. The Court held that under Section 6(c) of the General Clauses Act, the landlord's accrued right to proceed with eviction was preserved and pending proceedings could continue under the repealed Act as if it remained in force.
