JUDGMENT Sudhir Agarwal,J. 1. Heard learned Standing Counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. 2. This is a writ petition arising out of proceedings under Section 21(8) of Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972 (hereinafter referred to as "Act, 1972"). 3. The writ petition is directed against order dated 26.5.2001 passed by Rent Contrl and Eviction Officer, Mathura determining rent of premises in dispute i.e. House No.668 situated at Bharatpur Gate, Mathura at Rs.4,847/- per month w.e.f. 9.2.1997 and appellate order dated 13.5.2002 dismissing appeal. 4. The Courts below have determined rent on the basis of valuation report and other relevant material and learned Standing Counsel could not point out any manifest error therein warranting interference under Article 226/227 of Constitution of India. 5. The scope of judicial review under Article 226/227 is very limited and narrow as discussed in detail by this Court in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No.11365 of 1998 (Jalil Ahmad Vs. 16th Addl. District Judge, Kanpur Nagar & Ors.), decided on 30.7.2012. There is nothing which may justify judicial review of order impugned in this writ petition in the light of exposition of law, as discussed in the above judgment. 6. In view of the above, I do not find any reason to interfere. Dismissed. 7. Interim order, if any, stands vacated.
