Purely contractual lease rent disputes require recourse to the competent forum, while certificate processing follows procedural compliance.

A writ remedy is unavailable for a rent enhancement or revision dispute arising solely from a lease agreement where no public law element is involved; the appropriate remedy lies before the competent forum. Administrative processing of a rent reasonable certificate may proceed separately, and the concerned authorities must take expeditious steps to issue it once the applicant furnishes the required documents and completes the prescribed formalities.
