SAWANT &amp; S.B. MAJMUDAR\n\nJUDGMENT:\n<\/pre>\n<p>JUDGMENT<\/p>\n<p>1995 (3) SCR 817<\/p>\n<p>The Judgment of the Court was delivered by<\/p>\n<p>SAWANT, J. The short question which falls for consideration in the present<br \/>\nappeal is whether on the coming into operation of the notification on 26th<br \/>\nOctober, 1983 issued by the State Government in exercise of the powers<br \/>\nconferred upon it under Section 26 of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease,<br \/>\nRent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960 (hereinafter referred to as the<br \/>\n&#8220;Act&#8221;), the three applications made by the tenant for relief under the Act<br \/>\nsurvive or not.\n<\/p>\n<p>The relevant facts are that the suit premises were governed by the Act till<br \/>\n29th December, 1983. On 4th February, 1983 and 13th February, 1983, the<br \/>\nrespondent-tenant filed variously three applications, viz., (i) R.C.15\/83<br \/>\nfor direction to permit him to deposit rent in the court (ii) R.C. 16\/83<br \/>\nfor fixation of fair rent and (iii) R.C. 17\/83 to prevent inconvenience.<br \/>\nThe State Government issued notification dated 29th December, 1983<br \/>\nexempting w.e.f. 26th October, 1983 from all the provisions of the Act,<br \/>\namong others, buildings whose monthly rent exceeded Rs. 1,000. The<br \/>\ndefinition of the &#8216;building&#8217; under the Act includes any tenanted premises<br \/>\nand hence the suit premises stood exempted from the operation of the Act<br \/>\nw.e.f. 26th October, 1983 since on the said date the monthly rent payable<br \/>\nin respect of the premises was Rs. 1,300.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Rent Controller dismissed the tenant&#8217;s applications by his order of 6th<br \/>\nApril, 1985 on the ground that the rent of the premises being in excess of<br \/>\nRs. 1,000 he had no jurisdiction to entertain and decide the applications<br \/>\nafter 26th October, 1983. Against the said decision, the tenant preferred<br \/>\nthree appeals in the three applications to the Subordinate Judge. The<br \/>\nappeals were dismissed upholding the decision of the Rent Controller.<br \/>\nAgainst the decision in appeal, the tenant preferred three revision<br \/>\npetitions, viz., C.R.P. Nos. 624, 831 and 1043\/91 in the High Court and the<br \/>\nHigh Court by the impugned decision allowed the said petitions holding that<br \/>\nthe Rent Controller had jurisdiction to entertain and decide the<br \/>\napplications since the notification in question did not apply to the<br \/>\npending proceedings.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. It appears that while the tenant&#8217;s appeals were pending before the<br \/>\nSubordinate Judge, he had preferred a writ petition being W.P. No, 8081\/86<br \/>\nin the High Court challenging the validity of clause (b) of the said<br \/>\nnotification which states that the buildings fetching monthly rent<br \/>\nexceeding Rs 1,000 stood exempted from the provisions of the Act. The<br \/>\nlearned Single Judge of the High Court dismissed the writ petition<br \/>\nupholding the validity of the said provisions. The tenant preferred a writ<br \/>\nappeal which also met the same fate. Against the decision in the writ<br \/>\nappeal, the tenant preferred special leave petition in this Court which was<br \/>\ndismissed summarily at the admission stage without a speaking order.\n<\/p>\n<p>Shri Sitaramiah, learned counsel appearing for the appellant-landlord<br \/>\ncontended that on the coming into operation of the said notification from<br \/>\nthe 26th October, 1983, the protection given to the tenant stood withdrawn<br \/>\nand, therefore, whatever rights he had under the provisions of the Act,<br \/>\nstood extinguished on and from the said date. As against this, it was<br \/>\ncontended by Shri Subba Rao for the tenant that the tenant had acquired<br \/>\nvested rights under the Act and they were alive when the applications were<br \/>\nmade and he could not be divested of the same by the Notification which<br \/>\ncame into operation from a subsequent date, as held by the Division Bench<br \/>\nof the High Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>In support of his contention, the learned counsel for the landlord relied<br \/>\nupon, among others, the following decisions of this Court. The first of the<br \/>\ndecision is <a href=\"\/doc\/417002\/\">D.C. Bhatia &amp; Ors., v. Union of India &amp; Anr.,<\/a>[l995] 1 SCC 104<br \/>\nwhere a three-Judge Bench of this Court disposed of several appeals arising<br \/>\nout of an amendment of the Delhi Rent Control Act whereby Section 3 (c) was<br \/>\nintroduced in the said Act withdrawing the protection of that Act to such<br \/>\npremises whose rent was Rs. 3,500 per month or Rs. 42,000 per annum or<br \/>\nabove. One of the contentions advanced there on behalf of the tenants was<br \/>\nthat the amendment in question came into force on 1st December, 1988 and,<br \/>\ntherefore, it would not apply to those tenancies which were created prior<br \/>\nto the said date. It was urged that the amendment was not specifically made<br \/>\nretrospective and hence it could not affect the rights of the tenants<br \/>\nalready acquired under the said Act. Repelling these contentions, this<br \/>\nCourt held as follows :\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;52. We are unable to uphold this contention for a number of reasons. Prior<br \/>\nto the enactment of the Rent Control Act by the various State Legislatures,<br \/>\nthe legal relationship between the landlord and tenant was governed by the<br \/>\nprovisions of the Transfer of Property Act. Delhi Rent Control Act provided<br \/>\nprotection to the tenant from drastic enhancement of rent by the landlord<br \/>\nas well as eviction, except on certain specific grounds. The legislature by<br \/>\nthe Amendment Act No. 57 of 1988 has partially repealed the Delhi Rent<br \/>\nControl Act. This is a case of express repeal. By Amending Act the<br \/>\nlegislature has withdrawn the protection hither-to enjoyed by the tenants<br \/>\nwho were paying Rs. 3,500 or above as monthly rent. If the tenants were<br \/>\nsought to be evicted prior to the amendment of the Act, they could have<br \/>\ntaken advantage of the provisions of the Act to resist such eviction by the<br \/>\nlandlord. But this was nothing more than a right to take advantage of the<br \/>\nenactment. The tenant enjoyed statutory protection as long as the statute<br \/>\nremained in force and was applicable to him. If the statute ceases to be<br \/>\noperative, the tenant cannot claim to continue to have the old statutory<br \/>\nprotection. It was observed by Tindal, C J. in the case of Kay v. Goodwin,<br \/>\n[1830] 6 Bing 576: 130 ER 1403 at 1405.\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The effect of repealing a statute is to obliterate it as completely from<br \/>\nthe records of the Parliament as if it had never been passed; and, it must<br \/>\nbe considered as a law that never existed, except for the purpose of those<br \/>\nactions which were commenced, prosecuted, and concluded whilst it was an<br \/>\nexisting law.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;53. The provisions of a repealed statute cannot be relied upon after it<br \/>\nhas been repealed. But, what has been acquired under the Repealed Act<br \/>\ncannot be disturbed. But, if any new or further step is needed to be taken<br \/>\nunder the Act, that cannot be taken even after the Act is repealed.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;54. In the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/172692\/\">Kewal Singh v. Lajwanti,<\/a> vires of Section 25-B of the<br \/>\nDelhi Rent Control Act was challenged. Section 25-B was inserted to provide<br \/>\nthe landlord with a speedy remedy of eviction in case of bona fide<br \/>\nnecessity of the landlord. A contention was raised on behalf of the tenants<br \/>\nthat the provisions of Section 25-B violated Article 14 of the<br \/>\nConstitution. Fazal Ali, J., speaking on behalf of the Court, repelled this<br \/>\nargument by observing (SCC p.303, para 21)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thus any right that the tenant possessed after the expiry of the lease was<br \/>\nconferred on him only by virtue of the Rent Control Act. It is, therefore,<br \/>\nmanifest that if the legislature considered in its wisdom to confer certain<br \/>\nrights or facilities on the tenants, it could due to changed circumstances<br \/>\ncurtail, modify, alter or even take away such rights or the procedure<br \/>\nenacted for the purpose of eviction and leave the tenants to seek their<br \/>\nremedy under the common law.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;55. In the instant case the legislature has decided to curtail or take<br \/>\naway the protection of the Delhi Rent Control Act from a section of the<br \/>\ntenants. The tenants had not acquired any vested right under the Delhi Rent<br \/>\nControl Act, but had a right to take ad-vantage of the provisions of the<br \/>\nrepealed Act so long as that law remained in force.&#8221; (emphasis ours)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;56. In the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/40909759\/\">Mohinder Kumar v. State of Haryana, the<\/a> validity of the<br \/>\nAmending Act of 1978 by which Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction)<br \/>\nAct, 1973, was amended was challenged. The Amending Act by which a category<br \/>\nof newly constructed buildings were exempted from the provisions of the Act<br \/>\nfor a period of ten years, was challenged, inter alia, on the ground that<br \/>\nthe provisions operated retrospectively and sought to take away the vested<br \/>\nrights of the tenants under the Act. This contention was repelled by this<br \/>\nCourt in the following words : (SCC p.231, para 17)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The argument that the tenants have acquired a vested right under the Act<br \/>\nprior to its amendment is without any substance. Prior to the amendment of<br \/>\nSection 1(3) by the Amending Act of 1978, the provision as it originally<br \/>\nstood cannot be said to have conferred any vested right on the tenants. The<br \/>\nprovision, as it originally stood prior to its amendment, might not have<br \/>\nbeen constitutionally valid as the exemption, sought to be granted was for<br \/>\nan indefinite period. That does not necessarily imply that any vested right<br \/>\nin any tenant was thereby created. The right claimed is the right to be<br \/>\ngoverned by the Act prior to its amendment. If the Legislature had thought<br \/>\nit fit to repeal the entire Act, could the tenant have claimed any such<br \/>\nright? Obviously, they could not have; the question of acquiring any vested<br \/>\nrights really does not arise.&#8221; (emphasis ours)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;58. The last contention was as to whether the term &#8216;rent&#8217; is to be<br \/>\nconstrued as &#8220;standard rent&#8221; and not as the rent which is actually being<br \/>\npaid. This argument is also not acceptable for a number of reasons.<br \/>\nFirstly, the legislature has not used the expression &#8216;stand-ard rent&#8217; in<br \/>\nclause (c) of Section 3. Words normally should be understood in the<br \/>\nordinary dictionary meaning.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;60. It had been contended on behalf of the tenants that unless &#8216;standard<br \/>\nrent&#8217; was determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of the<br \/>\nAct, the provisions of Section 3(c) could not be made applicable. There is<br \/>\nnothing in the wording of Section 3(c) to support this contention. Section<br \/>\n3(c) speaks of premises &#8216;whose monthly rent exceeds three thousand and five<br \/>\nhundred rupees&#8217;.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>It, however, appears that in the judgment under appeal in that case it had<br \/>\nbeen held that the provisions of the said section 3(c) could not be<br \/>\napplicable to the cases which were pending before the Court. Since no<br \/>\narguments were advanced on that point by any of the parties before this<br \/>\nCourt, the Court made it clear that it was not expressing any opinion on<br \/>\nthe said controversy.\n<\/p>\n<p>The next decision is reported in [1964] 6 SCR 876 in <a href=\"\/doc\/936685\/\">Rafiquennessa v. Lal<br \/>\nBahadur Chetri<\/a> (dead) through His representatives &amp; Ors. In that case the<br \/>\nappellant sued the lessee, the predecessor of the respondent for ejectment<br \/>\non the latter&#8217;s failure to deliver possession of a leased land at the<br \/>\nexpiration of the stipulated period. Under the covenant, the lessee was<br \/>\nentitled to build a house for residential purposes. The Trial Court decreed<br \/>\nthe appellant&#8217;s claim whereupon the lessee filed an appeal. While it was<br \/>\npending, the Assam Non-Agricultural Urban Areas Tenancy Act was passed, and<br \/>\nthereafter the lessee prayed for permission to take an additional ground<br \/>\nunder Section 5 of that Act. Before that date, the High Court had taken the<br \/>\nview that the said provision of the Act was applicable to pending<br \/>\nproceedings. The lower appellate court allowed the lessee&#8217;s plea and<br \/>\nultimately allowed the appeal and set aside the decree concluding that the<br \/>\ntwo houses had been constructed by the lessee within five years after<br \/>\ntaking of the lease and that entitled the lessee to claim the benefit of<br \/>\nSection 5 of the Act. The High Court on appeal, following its earlier<br \/>\ndecision summarily dismissed the appeal. In the appeal filed to this Court,<br \/>\nthe Court held that (i) the statutory provision is retroactive either when<br \/>\nit is so declared by the expressed terms or the intention to make<br \/>\nretroactive clearly follows from the relevant words and the context in<br \/>\nwhich they occur and (ii) the provisions of the Act clearly indicate that<br \/>\nthe legislature wanted the beneficent provisions enacted by it to take<br \/>\nwithin their protection not&#8221; only leases executed after the Act came into<br \/>\nforce, but also leases executed prior to the operation of the Act. The<br \/>\nplain object of Section 5 was to protect the tenants who had built a<br \/>\npermanent structure either for business or for residence, provided it had<br \/>\nbeen built within five years from the date of the contract of tenancy, even<br \/>\nthough the construction had been made before the date of the Act. (iii) A<br \/>\nsuit which was pending when the Act came into force would be governed by<br \/>\nSection 5(1) (a) of the Act. An appeal likewise would be governed by the<br \/>\nsaid Section provided it was pending after the date, when the act came into<br \/>\nforce the appeal pending being a continuation of the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>The learned counsel for the landlord also sought to derive support to his<br \/>\ncontention from a decision of this Court in [1995] 1 SCR 410 <a href=\"\/doc\/592486\/\">Super Forgings<br \/>\n&amp; Steels (Sales) Pvt. Ltd. v. Thyabalfy Rasuljee<\/a> (dead) through Lrs.<br \/>\nAccording to us, the said decision is not apt for supporting his<br \/>\nsubmissions since it relied upon the developments between the parties<br \/>\nduring the pendency of the proceedings in this court for its conclusion<br \/>\nthat the said developments could be taken into consideration for the<br \/>\ndecision in that matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>As against this, the learned counsel for the tenant relied upon the<br \/>\ndecision of this Court reported in [1988] Supp. 2 SCR 528 <a href=\"\/doc\/1239058\/\">Atma Ram Mittal<br \/>\nv. Ishwar Singh Punia. In<\/a> that case, the appellant-landlord had filed a<br \/>\ncivil suit against the respondent-tenant for possession of a shop which had<br \/>\nbeen rented out by him in 1978. The suit was filed on the basis that the<br \/>\nrespondent was in arrears of rent from 1st December, 1981 to 31st May,<\/p>\n<p>1982, that the tenancy had been terminated by giving a suit notice, and<br \/>\nthat Section 1(3) of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act,<br \/>\n1973 exempted the building from the purview of the Act. On 15th February,<\/p>\n<p>1983, the respondent-tenant filed his written statement, and in November,<\/p>\n<p>1984,  moved an application for dismissal of the suit stating that the shop<br \/>\nin question was constructed in June 1974 and as such, the period of 10<br \/>\nyears had expired by June 1984 in terms of Section 1(3) of the Act and as<br \/>\nsuch the immunity from the application of the Act had expired. Hence the<br \/>\nsuit was not maintainable and the jurisdiction of the civil court was<br \/>\nbarred. On these facts this Court held :\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is well-settled that no man should suffer because of the fault of the<br \/>\nCourt or delay in the procedure. Broom has stated the maxim &#8220;actus, curiam<br \/>\nneminem gravabit&#8221; &#8211; an act of Court shall prejudice no man. Therefore,<br \/>\nhaving regard to the time normally consumed for adjudication, the 10 years<br \/>\nexemption or holiday from the application of the Rent Act would become<br \/>\nillusory, if the suit has to be filed within that time and be disposed of<br \/>\nfinally. It is common knowledge that unless a suit is instituted soon after<br \/>\nthe date of letting it would never be disposed of within 10 years and even<br \/>\nwithin that time it may not be disposed of. That will make the 10 years<br \/>\nholidays from the Rent Act illusory and provide no incentive to the<br \/>\nlandlords to build new houses to solve problem of shortages of houses. The<br \/>\npurpose of legislation would thus be defeated. Purposive interpretation in<br \/>\na social amelioration legislation is an imperative irrespective of anything<br \/>\nelse.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>On this finding this Court set aside the decision of the High Court which<br \/>\nhad taken the view that the proceedings filed by the landlord had come to<br \/>\nan end on the expiry of the period of 10 years from the date of the<br \/>\nconstruction of the premises in question.\n<\/p>\n<p>Relying on the aforesaid observations and the finding, the learned counsel<br \/>\nof the tenant urged that on the same analogy applications filed by the<br \/>\ntenant would also survive notwithstanding the coming into operation of the<br \/>\nNotification in question since the applications were pending in the court<br \/>\non that date.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to us there is a material difference between the rights which<br \/>\naccrue to a landlord under the common law and the protection which is<br \/>\nafforded to the tenant by such legislation as the Act. In the former case<br \/>\nthe rights and remedies of the landlord and tenant are governed by the law<br \/>\nof contract and the law governing the property relations. These rights and<br \/>\nremedies continue to govern their relationship unless they are regulated by<br \/>\nsuch protective legislation as the present Act in which case the said<br \/>\nrights and remedies remain suspended till the protective legislation<br \/>\ncontinues in operation. Hence while it can legitimately be said that the<br \/>\nlandlords&#8217; normal rights vested in him by the general law continue to exist<br \/>\ntill and so long as they are not abridged by a special protective<br \/>\nlegislation in the case of the tenant, the protective shield extended to<br \/>\nhim survives only so long as and to the extent the special legislation<br \/>\noperates. In the case of the tenant therefore the protection does not<br \/>\ncreate any vested right  which can operate beyond the period of protection<br \/>\nor during the period the protection is not in existence. When the<br \/>\nprotection does not exist, the normal relations of the landlord and tenant<br \/>\ncome into operation. Hence the theory of the vested right which may validly<br \/>\nbe pleaded to support the landlords&#8217; case is not available to the tenant.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason that the analogy sought to be drawn by Shri Subbarao<br \/>\nbetween the landlord&#8217;s and the tenant&#8217;s rights relying upon the decision of<br \/>\nthis Court in (1988) Suppl. 2 SCR is misplaced. In that case the landlord&#8217;s<br \/>\nnormal right to evict the tenant from the premises was not interfered with<br \/>\nfor the first ten years of the construction of the premises by an exemption<br \/>\nspecifically incorporated in the protective Rent legislation in question.<br \/>\nThe normal right was obviously the tested right under the general law and<br \/>\nonce accrued it continued to operate. The protection given to the tenant by<br \/>\nthe Rent legislation came into operation after the expiry of the period of<br \/>\n10 years. Hence, notwithstanding the coming into operation of the<br \/>\nprotection and in the absence of the provisions to the contrary, the<br \/>\nproceedings already commenced on the basis of the vested right could not be<br \/>\ndefeated by mere passage of tune consumed by the said proceedings. It is<br \/>\nfor this reason that the Court there held that the right which had accrued<br \/>\nto the landlord being a vested right could not be denied to him by the<br \/>\nefflux of time.\n<\/p>\n<p>That is not the situation in the present case where the tenant who<br \/>\nundoubtedly had the rights and remedies under the Act to claim reliefs<br \/>\nagainst landlord, lost the same the moment the protection was taken away,<br \/>\nthe rights and remedies being not vested ones.\n<\/p>\n<p>In this view of the matter, we are of the view that the view taken both by<br \/>\nthe Rent Controller and the Appellate Court was right and the decision of<br \/>\nthe High Court is not correct. Hence, set aside the impugned decision of<br \/>\nthe High Court and allow the appeals. As a result, the applications filed<br \/>\nby the respondent- tenant before the Rent Controller will stand dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>Appeals allowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court of India Parripati Chandrasekharrao And &#8230; vs Alapati Jalaiah on 26 April, 1995 Bench: P.B.
