1990 (10) TMI 363 - SC - Indian LawsWhether clause (iii) of sub-section (3) of Section 1 of the Jammu & Kashmir Houses and Shops Rent Control Act, 1966 is in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution? Held that:- The challenge to vires of S. 1(3)(iii) of the Act is not well founded. In its supreme wisdom it denied the protection of the Act to ten- ants whose annual income exceeds ₹ 40,000. Keeping in view the object which the legislation seeks to achieve, it can be safely said that there is reasonable nexus between the classification made by the legislature in the impugned section and the object sought to be achieved. We also find that there is an intelligible differentia between the tenants who are sought to be protected by the Act from those who are denied the protection of the Act. Appeal dismissed.
