John v. Vargheser
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court set aside a lower court order allowing an amendment to raise a kudikidappu right after a final eviction order. The Court held that such claims are deemed raised and rejected following a conclusive eviction order under the Rent Control Act, barring fresh litigation.
What did the court decide?
The order allowing the amendment (I.A. No. 2696 of 2013) was set aside and the application was dismissed with no costs.
