https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=176045 A consent decree for eviction under the Bombay Rent Control Act, 1947 is not a nullity merely because it is based on compromise; the rent court must still have material before it from which it can be prima facie satisfied that a statutory ground for eviction exists. A decree cannot rest on a ground outside the Act, and parties cannot confer jurisdiction by consent, but clear admissions in the compromise or evidence already on record may supply the required foundation. Once that jurisdictional basis appears, the executing court cannot go behind the decree or reappraise the merits. The decree was therefore held executable. en-us Fri, 30 Nov 1973 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:25:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=176045 A consent decree for eviction under the Bombay Rent Control Act, 1947 is not a nullity merely because it is based on compromise; the rent court must still have material before it from which it can be prima facie satisfied that a statutory ground for eviction exists.
