KESHARLAL H. PARDESHI vs VITHAL S. PATOLE(DEAD) BY LRS. — C.A. No. 3417/1998

Summary of C.A. No. 3417/1998 (Kesharlal H. Pardeshi v. Vithal S. Patole) On 15 January 2004, the Supreme Court allowed appellant Kesharlal H. Pardeshi's appeal against the High Court's order that had dismissed his eviction suit. The trial and appellate courts had found grounds for eviction under the Bombay Hotel and Lodging House (Rent Control) Act 1947, but the High Court had reversed this by holding Pardeshi was not the landlord. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and restored the trial court's eviction decree, finding that Pardeshi qualified as "landlord" under the Act's definition as he was receiving rent from the tenant. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
