Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Sections 14, 14A, and 25B of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, determining that a landlord can evict a tenant if the landlord is required to vacate government accommodation and owns residential property. The Court held that the provisions apply even if the premises were let for commercial purposes, affirming the eviction order against the appellant. The decision clarified the scope of 'residential purpose' under the Act and upheld the summary remedy provided in Section 25B.
