https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289614 Under the Bombay Rent Act, 1944, the Rent Controller had limited jurisdiction to fix standard rent where the statutory conditions were met, including where there was difficulty in applying the Act because the later premises were not identical to the earlier letting or improvements had been made; on the facts, the Controller acted within Section 13(b). A writ of certiorari was not available merely because a statutory appeal existed, since that remedy is ordinarily adequate unless there is breach of fundamental principles of justice, and no such breach was shown here.
