SURINDER PAL KAUR AND ANOTHER versus SATPAL AND ANOTHER

Section 145 CrPC proceedings and their findings do not bind or determine the landlord-tenant relationship in rent control proceedings. The High Court erred in dismissing the revision based solely on property's attachment and appointment of Receiver without adjudicating the core issue of landlord-tenant relationship. The matter must be decided afresh by the High Court.
