Section 50:
Jurisdiction of civil courts barred in respect of certain matters.
(1) Save a otherwise expressly
provided in this Act, no civil court shall entertain any suit or proceeding in so far as it relates to the fixation
of standard rent in relation to any premises to which this Act applies or to eviction of any tenant therefrom
or to any other matter which the Controller is empowered by or under this Act to decide, and no injunction
in respect of any action taken or to be taken by the Controller under this Act shall be granted by any civil
court or other authority.
(2) If, immediately before the commencement of this Act, there is any suit or proceeding pending in
any civil court for the eviction of any tenant from any premises to which this Act applies and the
construction of which has been completed after the 1st day of June, 1951, but before the 9th day of June,
1955, such suit or proceeding shall, on such commencement, abate.
(3) If, in pursuance of any decree or order made by a court, any tenant has been evicted after the 16th
day of August, 1958, from any premises to which this Act applies and the construction of which has been
completed after the 1st day of June, 1951, but before the 9th day of June, 1955, then, notwithstanding
anything contained in any other law, the Controller may, on an application made to him in this behalf by
such evicted tenant within six months from the date of eviction, direct the landlord to put the tenant in
possession of the premises or to pay him such compensation as the Controller thinks fit.
(4) Nothing in sub-section (1) shall be construed as preventing a civil court from entertaining any suit
or proceeding for the decision of any question of title to any premises to which this Act applies or any
question as to the person or persons who are entitled to receive the rent of such premises.
