Section 44 Maharashtra Rent Control Act | Revisional Authority Cannot Re-appreciate Evidence to Overturn Trial Court’s Factual Findings : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has clarified that revisional authorities under Section 44 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act cannot act as appellate bodies by re-evaluating evidence or substituting the factual findings of the Competent Authority. This reinforces the limited scope of revisional jurisdiction, protecting the finality of rent tribunal decisions and safeguarding licensees from judicial overreach in property disputes.
