RAICHURMATHAM PRABHAKAR vs RAWATMAL DUGAR — C.A. No. 2152 - 2153/1999

Case Summary: Raichurmatham Prabhakar v. Rawatmal Dugar The Supreme Court dismissed the landlord's appeal, holding that tenants' right to re-occupy rebuilt premises under Section 12 of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960, is not barred by the six-month limitation in Rule 23, but instead governed by the three-year period under Article 137 of the Limitation Act. The Court ruled that the original tenancy survives reconstruction, and tenants retain the right to re-enter at the same rent rate until the landlord properly initiates fair rent revision proceedings before the Controller.
