Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 14(6) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, determining that a partition of Hindu undivided family property does not constitute a 'transfer' as per the Act's provisions. The Court held that the nature of partition transforms joint titles into separate titles for co-parceners, and thus, a person acquiring property through partition does not fall under the restrictions of Section 14(6). Consequently, the High Court's ruling allowing eviction based on personal need under Section 14(1)(e) was upheld.
