Case Synopsis

Chandra Prakash Gupta & Ors. v. Shanti Devi (Dead) Through L.R., 2025 INSC 1489.

Synopsis: The Supreme Court set aside a High Court eviction order, holding it was a nullity as it was passed against a deceased tenant without hearing his legal heirs. Furthermore, the Court held that an "open remand" by a lower court had vitiated the foundational finding of rent default, making the eviction order legally unsustainable. The case was restored to the Trial Court for a fresh decision on the remanded issues.
