Property, Real Estate and Litigation : Legal Aspects of Lease

Property, Real Estate and Litigation : Legal Aspects of Lease 

The case of Om Prakash Agarwal v. Vishan Dayal Rajpoot [2018] GCtR 6370 (SC) has tried to explain the legal issue. It was held that as   per amendment by Uttar Pradesh Civil Laws (Amendment) Act, 1972 (U.P. Act No. 37 of 1972) cases by lessor for the   eviction   of   lessee  having   valuation   of   more   than Rs.5000/-   could   not   have   been  taken cognizance   by   Civil   Judges,   who   were   designated   as Judges  of  Small   Causes   Court   to   take   up   such  cases.

When Legislature treated all suits by the lessor for the eviction   of   lessee   from   a   building   as   a   “Small   Cause Suit”, a forum had to be created for deciding such cases as small cause cases.  The Legislature never intended   that   all   cases  pertaining to suits by lessor against the lessee of any valuation could be filed in any Small Causes Court.
