Narendra Raj Gupta arising out of SCC Suit No. 25 of 1990) whereby objections filed by said tenant -petitioner under Section 47, Code of Civil Procedure have been rejected. I find no manifest error apparent on the face of record. Both the Courts below have taken into account various objections raised before them and thereafter came to the conclusion that objections against the judgment and order passed in SCC Suit No. 25 of 1990 were not maintainable in law. Objections of the petitioner have been rejected vide judgment and order dated 12th December, 1996. It is interesting to note that petitioner has indulged in unnecessary litigative exercise.
