Jharkhand HC: Eviction Suits Under Rent Act Fall Exclusively Within Rent Controller’s Jurisdiction; Commercial Courts Have No Role
The Court held that eviction proceedings under the Jharkhand Building (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 2011 lie exclusively within the jurisdiction of the Rent Controller/Sub-Divisional Officer and that the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 does not apply even where the property is used for trade or commerce.
