Mukri Gopalan vs Cheppilat Puthanpurayil Aboobacker on 12 July, 1995
13. The issue there was as to the Appellate Court's
power to condone delay in filing an appeal by relying on
Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The Division Bench in order to
answer the question took cue from the decisions of the Apex
Court in Mukri Gopalan v. Cheppilat Puthanpurayil
Aboobacker [(1995) 5 SCC 5], Consolidated Engineering
Enterprises v. Irrigation Department [(2008) 7 SCC
169] and M. P. Steel Corporation v. Commissioner of
Central Excise [(2015) 7 SCC 58] and also the decision of
this Court in Ratheesh v. A. M. Chacko and another [2018
(5) KHC 35 : 2018 (4) KLJ 841]. It was held that an
Appellate Authority under the Act, being a District Judge,
undoubtedly possesses all the required powers under the
Code for an effective adjudication of the case. Generally
speaking, the appellate power is an extension of the original
authority's power. In other words, appellate power is co-
extensive to and co-terminus with the original power. The
Court concluded that the Appellate Authority under the Act is

a District Judge with full-fledged powers vested in a District
Court to which the entire Code applies. Same analogy applies
to this Court while exercising revisional jurisdiction under
Section 20 of the Act. Viewed so, provisions of Order LXIII
Rule I-A of the Code which enables to challenge non-
appealable orders in an appeal against the decree will also get
application. Legality of an order under Section 12(1) can be
challenged in an appeal or, as the case may be, revision filed
against an order under Section 12(3) of the Act.
Manik Lal Mazumdar & Ors vs Gouranga Chandra Dey & Ors on 26 February, 2004
21. Accordingly, that question was come to be decided
by a three-Judge Bench of the Apex Court in Manik Lal
Majumdar and others v. Gouranga Chandra Dey and
others [(2005) 5 SCC 400]. The extent and ambit of
'enquiry' that is allowed to ascertain the 'rent admitted by the
tenant to be due' in the context of Tripura Buildings (Lease

Court and held as follows:
Sadique vs Mohammed Umair on 21 December, 2016
The term
'admitted arrears of rent' has fallen for consideration of this
Court in Sadique (supra), where it was held that,

R.C.Rev.No.56 of 2021
'4. xx xx xx The Court cannot substitute its finding on
the arrears of rent in the place of admitted arrears of
rent and, if it is allowed, it would fall under the purview
of an adjudication under Section 11(2)(b) of the Act,
which can be done only on a later stage, at the trial of
the Rent Control Petition. In other words, it is totally
impermissible for the Rent Control Court or the
Appellate Authority, as the case may be, to have an
adjudication regarding the arrears of rent, as envisaged
under the first limb of Section 12, by conducting an
enquiry.'
